I didn't mention murder
I didn't say that human life was special
Contraception isn't taking a life. it's preventing it. Very different.
Stem cell research... another ethical question. I guess you and I might agree that the sacrifice is justified.
You seem to want to place me over the fence.
Yes I accept there's a strong ethical case for sentience. My mother taught me that it was wrong to make insects suffer. I'm fully behind that one.
There's another ethical case for human life (I'm not discounting any other sentient life form at all. I want to address this subject), outside sentience. Could you answer again why you think sentient human life deserves ethical consideration when non sentient human life doesn't, this time avoiding the sentience angle.
