| There is no reason to be concerned alone about wheather something is alive or not, as that trait is not sufficent enough for moral consideration. Stating that something is "alive" is often used as evidence in itself for protecting that certain lifeform, but it irrelevant from a rights-based perspective.
As I said above, wheather that being can be said to possess interests is the only morally relevant criterion or characteristic for entrance into the moral community. |
