My answer to your last question: As for the loss of a monetarily valuable fish, I hope University throws their ass(es) out of the university or some equally harsh punishment for a property crime. As for everyone in the article grieving about the fish whose "lifespan was cut short last month," all I can say is it was just a fish. I hope they avoid the canned tuna at the store and don't wear leather shoes.
If you were so motivated, I am sure you are clever enough to see how many abortion comments I have made in this forum (none up to this point). What inspired me to respond here is that the amount of grief expressed in this article over a fish makes it seem like an "Onion" parody.
I will rephrase the questions I was trying to get at in my "accidental" posting:
Would the people quoted in the article give as much respect and consideration to an unborn child as they do to a carp?
Would you give as much respect and consideration to an unborn child as you would to a carp?
I don't know

Yes. It is not an either or situation. Koi are very intelligent and friendly fish. Pro-life people have pets as well and feel sad when they die.
