or you could find alternate methods for sustenance. it can be difficult because the already formed system of natural selection has already worked for millions of years, but as humans we have the intellect to be able to find alternate methods of sustenance. i think it's wrong to sacrifice one for the good of the whole. that includes killing other humans in self defense, eating animals for food, and even plants. but we currently lack the methods and the ideologies for this, so for now ill keep on surviving like life always has and keep on dreaming and waiting for an alternate method to come along.
Is it ethical to say Good-bye to a bad deal? Let alone to acquire a little extra bragging confidence that you looked like you didn't know what you meant. ______________________________________________________
Your'e right we lack the methods for it. Only organic materials provide the means for sustenance its always been that way and I don't see that changing anytime soon. So why fight nature just because of some hair brained concept of self righteous?
Let's try this arguement. I will use a chicken to build a better visualization. Also, the ass icon's covetment of porn while eating chicken will not go away in my head. The sentience of a chicken can be speculated to desire nourishment, shelter, companionship, sex and safety. While a chicken could get most of these things in the wild, I would guess that safety would be more difficult to come by. A chicken farm could provide these things. The chicken would be in a sanctuary until a time where they are no longer able to participate in chicken culture and then it could be mercifully slaughtered. Now, there are a couple of parallels to look at here. One is that the chicken farm is a lot like human culture. Food, shelter, companionship, sex and safety are easily acquired in our culture. Another parallel is how we treat our elderly. As they get older we discard the elderly in seclusion and finally the ground. There are some inconsistencies here. First, I do not know if such farms exist. Second, chickens are slaughtered at around 14 weeks so to wait 5 to 10 years could cause a problem with meat taste and availablility.
