Really, don't be suprised that PETA is full of nutcases and morons, they realized rational protest wasn't in vogue so they waded into the pool of douschebaggery, the more shocking the better. (though the naked celebrities were nice).

There was a brilliant Penn & Teller: Bullshit episode on this. It's on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAt1z_TgPQ4.

Quote from: "Moses"
Quote from: "Guest"
Quote from: "Moses"Nor do all  humans even get the full extent of rights. Growing children and the insane cannot sign contracts or vote since they cannot grasp the situations involved.

Well, a question pops in to mind, why don't we eat them then? Or better yet, some who just is not cognitive of human rights (and will not be in the future), for example people who were born as "a veggie"?

Well children are developing cognition so they do have rights since the potential is there.
Your'e pro-life then, because every fetus has the potential to develop cognition too?
Quote from: "Moses"The insane are far more cognitive than animals. For instance a mentally retarded adult is far more capable of reason than a dog or ape.
That depends, really. What would you think about those people that are cabable to same kind of reason (or lower) as an ape?

Quote from: "Moses"Hence laws that restrict the actions of incapable humans tend to be there to protect them. As far as people born "veggie" I think that might be up to the parents afterall I dont have a problem with euthanisia in certain circumstances. Now when it comes to eating them there is a whole host of public health issues. For instance cannabilization as a practise leads to all sorts of diseases.

Cannabilism:

Yep, mostly problems with cannibalism result from poor handling of the meat though, like with Kuru. If the meat is well cooked, then there should be no health problems! :)

I'm sorry if I sound combative or that I try to take a higher moral ground, I don't, but I have noticed that there are no simple answers either.
