$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('linlithgowoil', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t takes one comment for a person to loose credibility, yours is highlighted.
A study is an experiment, lists number ... you can disagree with the interpretation but you should not disagree with the data.
And stop calline me atheist, I'm an agnostic. A side note, the "utilitarians" you are referring to, are mostly free market prophets you follow.
Regarding your other post about physicians and cost, that is one big hypocrisy. It is the gospels of the free market that destroyed health care across the world.
Ill stop calling you atheist if you stop calling me a free market prophet. I know very well the limitations of the free market and consider myself very much a socialist in economic issues - i don't support the idea of trickle down, i dont even think people should be allowed to own more than one home, and i believe in a 100% tax rate above income of £100,000 per year.
No matter how many studies are conducted, 'data' can't support an argument that human life is no better than animal life. Its all to do with personal viewpoint. Plus, data is very often flawed and other 'studies' usually come out later debunking the earlier ones.
