Is all life equal?
 
Is all life equal?

Is human life more important than an animal?

If you had to save a random human you didn't know or your dog?

How would you decide between two random humans?

If one was someone you knew and the other you didn't?

What about the unborn?

I don't think all life is equal, and I also think it shouldn't be. A human should be higher in life than animals because they are naturally superior.

I'd rather kill a moth than it be a minor irritation to me, so no.

Arneldo 10-08-2008 09:57 PM

Is my life equal to that of a pig? no.

Scarlett. 10-08-2008 09:57 PM

Nope, bugs run on instinct, nothing else, so why should they be equal

GhettoSuperstar 10-08-2008 10:00 PM

So true. He should become Prime Minister.

Well as a vegetarian I believe that animals lives shouldn't be sacrified for humans to have food when there are perfectly good alternatives. Animals lifes should be respected but of it came to choosing one life over another,than a human would obviously be supreior.

I'd vote for it. Be better than Brown anyways.

Might actually tune into Parliamenty things and attend Prime Minister's questions...

"So Mr Prime Minister...wooz a goood boy theeen???" :D

Seriously though....what about equality between humans. How do you decide one life is more important than the other?

Tom4784 10-08-2008 10:23 PM

If i'm honest, I think Humans are more important then any other creature on this planet, If this wasn't so we wouldn't be the dominant species.

I love most animals but if it's the choice between a human life or an animal life then I think the decision would be easy. I don't mind vegatarians but I dislike it when someone's trying to make me change, Humans are omnivores which means we can eat both plants and animals and if we wasn't meant to eat animals they would end up harming us if we did.

On the matter of stuff like fur, I dislike the use of endangered animals for fashion but if it was a case that we needed to skin an animal for clothes then I wouldn't care as long as it was a common animal.

No. God put us above animals and whether you're religious or not most people believe that.

Strongly disagreed. In what way are we "naturally superior?"


Is all life equal? No.

Is human life more important than an animal? In some cases, but not always. A human life is also not always equal to another human life though.

If you had to save a random human you didn't know or your dog? My dog, of course.

How would you decide between two random humans? I'd need more details about them to decide. :)

If one was someone you knew and the other you didn't? I'd save the one I know.

What about the unborn? What about the unborn? It doesn't really make a difference to me if the person has been born yet or not, except that I don't know him yet if he's not yet born.

Is all life equal? Yes

Is human life more important than an animal? No

If you had to save a random human you didn't know or your dog? my dog of course

You've just contradicted yourself there, unless you're saying humans are inferior to another life form.

That doesn't mean your dog is superior to the other person. Thats just your bias. I'm sure if you didn't know either the dog or the human you would choose to save the human.

No, I didn't contradict myself, and no, that's not what I'm saying. I said that humans are not superior to other animals. The life of SOME dogs for example is more valuable than the life of SOME humans. And vice versa.

I never said my dog was superior to that person. I don't even know who "that person" is. Personally I think my dog is superior to some people though.

You said that you disagree that humans are superior then went on to say you think life forms are not equal. Why is it selective, I mean why is the life of some dogs more valuable than the life of some humans? Why is it not just they either are or they aren't equal?

But you would think that because its your dog. It doesn't necessarily mean its true though. If someone else who doesn't know you had to choose whether to save the life of your dog or a person they have never met, I would say that person would choose the person they have never met.

Is all life equal? No........

Is human life more important than an animal?
If you had to save a random human you didn't know or your dog? To answer that ask yourself would Hitler be more important to save than your dog. So the answer is in some cases the dog in some cases humans.


How would you decide between two random humans? If one was someone you knew and the other you didn't? If I liked the person I knew then no contest......If not then the easiest one to save.....

What about the unborn? The unborn should not be treated like Hitler treated the jews. Murder them because they are not wanted and an inconvenience......Need I say more Yes I will.......Abortion is on the same level as hitlers execution of the defenceless....A vile crime....

Because it depends on which dog and which human. No, I do not think that all humans are superior to all other animals. Do I think some humans are superior to some other animals? Yes. But I also think some non-human animals are superior to some humans.

I'm not too bothered about the judgment of my dog by someone who has never met him. :wink:
