I'm sure ThomasNY would take it down.
lol at these questionn and answers.
ok i am a little drunk and extremely tired and a little depressed from running 100bi under ev. so this question might be even more ridiculous than my other one...
how do you value human life compared to animal life or even plant life or something that isn't considered life at all like a rock or a cloud?
is a human life more valuable than a dog's life? or a rat's? or a fly's? how about a leaf?
and what are the ratios? maybe you would kill 15 dogs to save one human baby? and maybe you would smash infinite rocks to save one fly because you are a rocksist who doesn't value rocks at all?
