Veganism

[Disagreeable]

I never said that it did.

Then why did you say that I was equivocating? You seemed to suggest that I was equivocating if I wasn't going by common usage. If that's not what you were suggesting then I don't see why you made a point about me possibly equivocating.

That's not what I was doing.  I was pointing out that as long as there is a category of being human, then the ethical question lies elsewhere than debating what does or doesn't make one human.

If whether a creature has or doesn't have the property of being human is what determines whether it's morally permissible or impermissible to eat such a creature then whether a creature actually is human or not *is* morally relevant.

what you wrote doesn't even remotely follow.  If being human makes an organism's unjustified killing immoral, it is not entailed that such with something not human is also immoral.

That's' not what I said.

You seem to be repeatedly interpreting me uncharitably.

To go back to what I said, with some added emphasis and a couple of clarifying comments:

if the property of being human is what makes it not acceptable to kill and eat a creature and the property of not being human is what makes it acceptable to kill and eat a creature then this entails that it's acceptable to kill and eat a creature very, very similar to a human that isn't technically of the same [human] species . [Assuming, of course, that having the property of 'being human' is interchangeable with being a member of the human species].
