    We can cure these diseases without killing animals, and save children. That is a false dichotomy on your part.

    I do appreciate you calling me a weirdo tho for having empathy for intelligent species other than humans. It speaks magnitudes about you, not me.

        but I’d bet thousands that if the doctor came to you and said that person’s best chance for not only surviving but living is one of these genetically modified pigs, there will be one more dead pig.

        You’d be wrong. This is a deeply deeply held conviction of mine that we are not more worthy of life than any other species on this planet.

          This is a deeply deeply held conviction of mine that we are not more worthy of life than any other species on this planet.

          This seems strange to me. So in your opinion, pig lives are just as valuable as human lives?

          What about the life of a fish? An ant? A mushroom? A rose? A bacteria?

          Are they all equatable to a human life?

            Why didn’t I answer your question

            Because I’m not here to debate with people. I voiced my opinion on the subject, and that’s about all I care to do.
