Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

      What part of my comment made you think I was arguing for that?

        To prevent the reproduction of those who rely on murder. If a person had a genetic disorder where they needed a human heart transplant every year to live do you think they should get it? And even if they do, should they reproduce?

          I didn’t realize transplants only came from killing people, your totally applicable and thoughtful analogy has me rethinking my life choices now.

          Here’s a thought experiment for you: if you were on an island, with only the vegan section of a grocery store to eat for survival, would you eat the vegan food?

            Can you explain your point a little more?

              Sure, which part of that isn’t clear for you?

                When did I say all transplants require killing someone? I said that a heart transplant required someone with a working heart to die. Just as a lion eating meat requires another animal to die.

                  Since lions aren’t moral agents (look this up if you’re unfamiliar with the term, it’s not only a vegan term) they don’t commit murder when they kill for food. Also, someone dying and donating an organ also isn’t murder.

                    I didn’t say they committed murder. I said they rely on the death of others. Why should a species that must lead to the suffering of my others continue to persist if you can end it without harming the animal?
