: Your argument crumbles with the admission of selfishness. People are selfish. Who are we to decide whether others should live or die?

We are the top of the food chain, Kevin. Cite the ecclesiastical
standard or anything other than your opinion that suggests we do
not hold this authority.

Who made you 'god'?

Indeed! Now your getting it! God establishes morality. Some men form
emotionally charged opinions and call it morality.

:: Exactly what allows you to say "they are of no importance"? You are clearly speaking from a self-centred human perspective, and the validity of your statement disappears when you recognize this.

State any other perspective, Kevin. Do you claim to see through the
eyes of a lab rat? You sure won't look through the eyes of a greatful
human whose life was saved because of animal experiments. But for the
grace of God there you go. But I'm curious how selfish you would feel
if it was your life spared in exchange for the fluffy bunny's.

Don't be ridiculous.
