The Universal Moral Code

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

2. All life has equal rights. Each living being is equal in value or importance to every other living being. No living being or group of beings has any rights, including the rights to exploit, or abuse, or force their own will, upon any other living being or group of beings, unless all beings involved are willing participants.

Malignant cancerous tumors are 'alive' by any meaningful definition of the word.  Is such a tumor  'equal in value or importance to every other living being'?  If so, then any attempt to destroy the tumor (radiation, chemotherapy, excision surgery, etc) in order to save the patient is evil, according to your definition.  Antibiotics used to treat life-threating bacterial infections would be evil, as would eradicating insect or rodent pests that pose a threat to human populations.


Do you object to medical experimentation performed on rabbits, pigs, non-human primates, etc?  Bearing in mind that such research has saved untold millions of human beings from death and misery, would you consider these experiments 'evil'?



Did you eat anything today?  If so, did you eat living beings?  Even if you are an uber-vegan, you might want to reflect that soy beans and celery stalks are living beings.


You may want to think this through again.
