Would you abort a baby with Down Syndrome or severe disability? Statistics say 93% of people do. This is a hypothetical question. I had a heated discussion with another pregnant friend of mine. Please keep it polite.

I have to disagree. I do not know you, but I believe your life is worth more than my pet's. I would choose for you to live without hesitation.

Mirage, thanks for your view! While I feel sorry for your pets, I understand many people think this way.

I agree with you kitt. Humans tend to put more value on human life because they are human.

Mini_kitt, I feel sorry for YOU. Hopefully no one ever lets you die to save a bird. If you really do believe that your life has no more value than an animal, I truly do feel sorry for you.
While I love animals, they are not the deeply emotional and thoughtful creatures that human beings are. They don't operate on the same level that humans do.
Mini_kitt, though you have been taught that all life is equal, it's simply not true. You are infinitely more valuable than a fish, rodent, or plant. I feel bad that you're not aware of just how important you are to the world. You are not just an ordinary animal.

Humans are animals. Considering they are also responsible for most of the damage to nature I am not sure how they are so valuable. Like I said, humans think humans are more valuable simply because they are humans.
