I'd imagine all of us here would agree human life is important or of importance. But would you say it is of paramount importance? That it trumps other things and values? I.e. it's absolutely sacrosanct, not to be violated at any cost? |

Quand il pleut, il pleut

...I guess in a situation where I would just ‘act’ rather than think..?...my instinct would be yes human life is sacred above all other life...I mean for instance in those dilemma/type situations...if there was a burning building and I was given a choice of saving a human life or saving an an animal life but both couldn’t be saved...?...the I would choose the human always I feel...but I still can’t say that I absolutely believe in the sanctity of human life because my beliefs are pro choice in some things that would go against that...

The question is a bit vague. I believe humans are valuable. I don’t believe they’re sacred in a religious sense. I don’t believe they’re any more valuable than any other mammal.

Why advocate a 6-day working week in that case?

All life on this planet is as valuable, whether human, animal or plant life. Without plant life neither animals or humans could exist, so can human life be seen as more valuable? And, although I understand that one species uses another to survive, in all truth, what right does any human have to say that they are more valuable than any other sort of life?
Every living thing on this planet is in a battle to survive as long and as well as possible, so each living thing must feel it's survival is of utmost importance. Ironically, I believe that human beings are the only species that consciously behave in ways that they know will risk their health, well-being and survival, or are willing to actually choose to take their own lives. I don't think that answers the question at all, but these are my immediate thoughts on the subject. I guess these thoughts are leading me to the conclusion that no, all human life can't possibly be sacred (or even be seen as sacred by most of us) when as individuals and as a species we seem to be destroying all our chances of long term survival. All the time that some of the human race is killing itself through greed, over-indulgence and excess, whilst standing by and watching human beings in other parts of the world starve, we cannot say that as a species, we believe in the sanctity of human life. And, as individuals, unless we are avoiding taking part in practices that are likely to cause us harm, and are actively involved in protecting the lives of other humans at risk or in danger, how can we truly say we believe in the sanctity of human life? I liked to claim to believe in the sanctity of human life, but through responding to your question, Twosugars, I realise I'd be lying to myself by claiming I did. Well, that was eye-opening! |
