Thanks for the input everyone.
I think medical is justified because it save human live. I know that some people put the same value on animal and human lives. I'm curious then, if given the choice to save the life of your child or your cat, what would you choose? Since nature seems to emphasize the value of one's own species over all others, it seems that if you were a believer in nature's apparent priorities, you'd value the life of a random human over that of a random animal. I'm not saying that you don't need to act responsibly when consuming the world's resources and interacting with its creatures, only that you should because it is in humanity's best interest to do so. Let's be clear, nature doesn't give damn if you live or die. Nature puts the onus on you for that.
I'm inna hurry, more later.
