"The complicating factor here is the notion that there are two (or perhaps more) individuals involved." imp, you assert that as though it were a fact. I hope you realize that's what you're doing. I do think of it as fact and in other contexts I may have so asserted it, but not in that post. "The complicating factor is the notion that...", is hardly asserting the notion as fact. Vegetarianism would be so heated if a sizable minority or a small majority thought that it should be the rule for everyone. Of course I don't think of it as immoral to eat a cow, or to kill one so it can be eaten, but moral or not it is not a human rights issue, just one of morality. Yes there are people who assert that a cow has rights similar to that of a human. But they are few and far between. Even most vegetarians don't agree with that idea. If they where a strong majority they might be able to impose their ideas. Being in a majority would not make their ideas correct but correct or not they might become law. Fortunately we really don't have to worry about that too much. Tim
