"since laws are man made that too could easily change to allow for killing newborns" Of course. Laws can be changed by force/superstition or by reason. If they are changed by reason, then it is progress. I'll leave you to live in your fantasy world. Don't be so stupid. I gave you a thought experiment and you TURTLED. NO SURPRISE!! I asked you if aliens came and were autonomous agents with similar morals to humans (like an advanced dolphin or pig)...would you grant them the same moral privileges as you grant (some) humans? In other words...Rights and Freedoms in accordance with "human" status? Or would you make them into pets (God willing!) and perhaps try to SAVE THEM with extreme instruments of torture such as you practiced across many centuries??? So if they were kind and loving and MORAL...would a 22 or a 24 chromosome pair condemn them as "PIGS"!!? Will you have the guts to answer???????????????????????????????????????????????????
