Howard Stern had a caller today who was a "vegan". Quite the idealist. She's 17, headed to UCLA and wants to start a club there for fellow greens/vegans (like they don't have one already).

She was asked if she would approve for her mother to receive a heart from a pig if it was the only way to save her mom's life. She said she couldn't, because who was she to say one animal is superior to another.

The problem in this logic is that she has already made that choice, and determined the pig is more valuable than her mother. If they are truly equal you'd flip a coin or something.

Well, the pig may not be more valuable than this girl's mother, but it's probably smarter. I mean, let's face it, mom raised this twit, have you ever seen a pig raise its offpsring to act like that?

"If they are truly equal you'd flip a coin or something."

Now that's committment! Wonder if she'll feel differently if she has kids.

Well, no. I think her logic is fine. She's saying she wouldn't kill one living "being" to save another.

That said, she's an idiot.

Btw, Stern is a all "best of" clips this week. They're partying in Vegas.
