We are talking about experimentation on the non-living. Irrational beings which cannot hold an opinion, and which cannot respect the rights of the living. If something is incapable of mutual respect for rights, then it is unable to possess rights of its own.
We are talking about inhuman parasites like this
We can sacrifice infinite amounts, providing we have the consent of their owners, to cure one living man and it would be far more moral than the repulsive priests who denounce it. |
Would you extend this to people with severe learning disablities, I spent 4 years caring for 5 men with severe mental handicaps, there behaviour was irrational, they had no regards or understanding for what there rights were and had no mutual respect for each others rights. Would you experiment on them.
