The treatment of animal life is appropriate to their moral and legal status, as is the treatment of human life in our current system. |
And it is my opinion that the elevated status of the human entitles the human to decide on his own fate, and if he wishes to terminate his life, then, with certain provisos, a qualified medical practitioner should be allowed be allowed to aid said person in doing so in a dignified manner.
