So a newborn baby, that is incapable of rational thinking is ok to slaughter then.

Of course not.

They belong to a species (human being) that is rational by nature. They are afforded the same rights (although they must be advocated by a steward) as any other human being.

So because YOU draw all these arbitrary lines, that should be the standard of "good" and "evil"? OWK's laws of nature...


If humans, in the future, could produce a computer that was rational and could be self aware, would it then become as valuable a "life" as humans?
