re:"I would personally grant rights to self aware animals, such as gorillas and chimpanzees. These are a lot more human than a circular blob of cell a short while after conception. The rights granted would not be identical to that of homo-sapiens, but I would think that informed consent before experimentation and right to habitat, perhaps a property right, should be granted." I'm glad you're not in a position to grant such rights, and I hope you never will. BTW, How do you propose that a chimp pay property taxes?
