Because it`s a black & white ideology and therefore extremist. Define sentient. Then tell me if a Tuna is a sentient being by the definition you just gave me. a dog?a cow? a silkworm?a bee? a bonobo? Then tell me why I should accept your definition and the arbitrary standards used to arrive at your answers. Is it morally acceptable to take dairy product from cattle? If so why? Why is it acceptable to forcibly take a beings bodily fluids but not kill it? Is it morally permissible to use test animals to study a cure for AIDs? A cure for AID`s would save millions of humans. My justification for exploiting animals is the higher value I place on humans. Once you`ve justified any violation then any other standards made are nothing more than rationalization. I do not wish to live within a society that values all equally. All within such a society will end up with no value.

Wow, that is quite a leap, any evidence for that?

No, it`s my own personal unfounded opinion.
Is there nothing else within my post you would question?

Essentially your position is that there are far to many things that fall out of black and white, to not make what I am suggesting possible. Doesn't hurt to try it does it? No pun intended. |

You`re talking about drastically altering the ethical systems humans interact under. I think it might hurt yes.
