Im sorry but I am confused if he wrote that responses or you.The Esquilax quote is my signature. There are certain posters who will put anyone who disagrees with them on ignore I find the practice, self-deluding.
It has been argued in many ethical circles that killing animals is immoral but as you say not to the same extent as killing as human being. I believe you have it right there. As for reaping from visibility any voice that disagrees with me? How am I doing that? I simply presented an argument and thus far I have not seen any adequate defeaters for this argument.
If as you claim everything is genetics then presumably immorality is proportional to genetic overlap with humans hence the 99% regarding chimps, it would also follow that it is 40% immoral to kill a banana.
It would 100% Immoral to remove a burst appendix because the genetic overlap between an appendix and its host is 100%.
