Maybe you should reexamine why you feel that a human's life is inherently at least 70 times as valuable as the life of our closest relatives.
If your response is "we're smarter though" then I guess you'd support killing 70 mentally disabled humans if it would save the life of one perfectly fit human which is pretty fuckin :yikes:
Funny how the person I was talking to never said "Actually I think monkeys are 70 times less valuable than humans because xyz." Because I hit the nail on the head, so they had to deflect. You see, there actually is no good reason that a person can give in favor of this argument, so the fact that I already dismantled the only one that sometimes sounds reasonable if you're a eugenicist, they just had to give up in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance which would come from thinking about it.
Ah, you're right. Got your account mixed up with the other one here.
I just didn’t want to have a serious discussion with someone who thinks there’s an equivalence between mentally disabled humans and fucking bonobos.
Good thing no one said anything like that. You just don't have a good reason for what you said, so you're now looking for any way to avoid having to justify it.

I didn't. Nice job dodging the point though

Nope, either your reading comprehension needs work or you are being disingenuous.
The point is that "I am smarter than you therefore you deserve to live less than I do" is just straight up reactionary.
