Ping for a lesson in how not to do logic.

What do you base your Bill of Rights for chimps and other non-humans on? I could laugh if it weren't so sad.

We were discussing the rights of humans, under human law. Your comment is a non-sequitor, having nothing to do with the topic of medications regualted by the government. Who brought up "happy young chimp[s]" or "religious viewpoint[s]," other than you?

As long as our species is the only one having this conversation and taking action to "electively" kill others within our species, as long as we are the only ones *responsible* under the law and regulating medications, we are the only ones who must be regulated.

As long as our species is the only one having this conversation and taking action to "electively" kill others within our species, as long as we are the only ones *responsible* under the law and regulating medications, we are the only ones who must be regulated.

If we need only concern ourselves with the rights of the parties who are engaging in the conversation, then we certainly don't need to concern ourselves with the rights of human zygotes, embryos, fetuses, newborns, or even toddlers and pre-schoolers. They are not participating in the conversation any more than chimps are.
