Don’t miss the fact that this topic is not on the level of the audience of Animal Planet, or for that matter of pop culture in general.

I see your point... this article is examining this question from Judeo-Christian values, which are, as it states, human beings are infinitely valuable.

As such, it is dealing in generalities, where the responses of myself and others here deal with specifics, that being more the application for those of us living here at ground level.

If you term such a real-life perspective as 'pop culture', your definition is different from mine.
