Less than animals, still?
SR answers “Humans less than animals?” by arguing for his own personally held view (or even a “consensus” of personally held views) with minds such as Peter Singer and H. Tristan Englehardt. The latter’s qualifications for person hood moves well into childhood. If you move away from what we know of embryology, comparative anatomy, and … Continue reading
