Edit: Surprised at all the vegans in this thread. I didn’t think there were so many of you. I’m glad you care so much about animal rights, that you’re willing to forego eating them and using products made from them. If you’re not vegan and have moral objections for this, maybe you should look at yourself first and all the animal abuse you sanction by eating animals and using animal products. Did you know dairy cows have to be pregnant to produce milk? They’re artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives. I hope everyone complaining about this also complains about ice cream and cheese. Or else they would be hypocrites who just want to blame others but never look at themselves.
I’m not going to say this is immoral but it does reveal how little we care about animals when we are willing to farm organs across species, which has got to be more difficult. It’s something we would never consider doing with humans but will be willing to bend over backward to do with animals., and then vociferously defend it online. It’s just revealing, that’s all. Animals have zero moral standing in our society. None.
Very weird. It’s like you told me I was wrong and then repeated what I said. There’s an obviously massive difference in value placed on humans and animals here. Is that less confusing?

English degree here, chief. Writing is a two way communication, and you failed to make your point.
Why don’t you illuminate the big difference between acceptable losses and apathy, since that is the only thing you seem to want to have a point about. And don’t just define the two, one after the other. This will be on the test.
Everything else you said is just “it’s not that we don’t give a fuck about animals, we just give a fuck about humans.” Which, in the end, amounts to the same thing.
We would absolutely consider doing this with humans. We actually DO this with humans. Skin grafts, organ transplants.
