The colors have been removed (I agree, it shouldn't have been there in our publication, just in our group work. I overlooked that when deciding it was ready to be published).
Also, an addendum added on future persons, because although we were prepared to answer it in class, I realized that it should really be in our online publication as well.
MuadDib, what do you disagree with? While I'm not fluent in the research done on this but have only done cursory examinations slightly beyond that which is required of us in class, but I have a decent grasp of the material and where to look up the research if need be. I'd love to debate some of this with you.
Keep in mind, my personal views differ slightly from the group's, but we all made sacrifices to come to a mutual decision. Also, there are two separate views I hold - A: the views presented here, on what actually has rights and what is morally WRONG in my opinion.
B: What my inner conscience tells me.
For example, take a dog. It doesn't have the right to live, under our definitions, which I agree with. However, would I be okay with myself actually killing a dog? No. Society has molded me to anthropomorphize them and assign them a value greater than their actual worth because of the 'soul' I think I see when I look in their eyes. If I actually cut past all the illusory values that are unfounded that I hold...there's actually nothing really wrong with killing a dog. But it would still make me feel terrible, and I wouldn't be able to do it myself without an extremely good reason (i.e. someone I care about being threatened by said dog.) And even then, incapacitation seems far more likely.
Anyways, I digress. What can I debate with you about on this?
