Heretic ghouls and zombies are absent from the "Is it Human?" chart in silicon policy. It does declare corpses as non-human, but I feel like there is precedence to specifically include human zombies and ghouls as non-human. Perhaps in the same line as corpses. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Rules#Silicon_Policy

It should be noted while that code wise, zombies are a separate species from human. Ghouls on the other hand, do not loose their species, they are given a status effect and then ahealed.

They are, as far as I'm aware, already enforced as such, so this should be an easy addition, I think?

Also often brought up is the medical scanner readout. Humans who drink a flight potion are no longer classified as humans to AI, the medical scanner reads out something along the lines of "Angels (Winged Humans)"
If you scan a zombie with a medical scanner, the will readout as "Infectious Zombie" heretic ghouls will still read out as their original species. Just something for thought.

I think there's something to be said when a heretic ghoul disguises themselves in a MODsuit or something else to conceal their identity. I suppose this ruling would have to happen once the AI is able to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there's a heretic's ghoul on the station.

undead means no pulse means corpse means nonhuman

Heretic ghouls show as alive on health huds, They also still bleed and are affected by bloodloss. No longer relevant.

Well, that's ridiculous! I'm proposing this as a code solution. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69443

Cool, well that fixes it.

theyre not human and arm is fixing the thing that might make you think they are
