  If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.

    Right, but in the case of animals these decisions are up to the owner.

      You are aware humans are animals? The differentiation “human” is artificial and made up…

        Uh… So the differentiation between ‘cow’ and ‘chicken’ is also artificial and made up, as well as the differentiation between ‘rock’ and ‘jetplane.’

        What’s your point?

        You share 25% of your DNA with a tree, is it slavery to own four apple trees?

  it is not a needed treatment for the health and well being of the cow, it is a unecessary treatment forced upon the animal

    Right, but we do need more cows in the long run.

      a) we don’t b) they can happily fuck on their own, it just makes it harder to exploit them for their body fluids. Nobody cares about the calves, they are just needed for the mothers to lactate

  Not a vegan but if you think what happens to cows is a medical “treatment” then you are a dumbass

  It is rape!

  Remember there have been at least one-doctor that did this to women, not in his offices to become pregnant (warning, SP?). A famous case was a doctor that raped/impregnanted (SP?) a lot of women looking to become mothers, with his own sperm. The obvious results/proof came after birth,

    Cows are not on the same level as humans

      Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.

      It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.

        What do we call a sexual act with a being that did not consent?

        Does it matter if the being is human? And what if the being is a neanderthal?

        Or say we find a lady on the street and DNA test her, find out she’s technically not human. What would we call sexually acting upon her without her consent?

        If defining this action triggers you emotionally this much, that’s a reflection of your ability to have level-headed conversations. It’s not your interlocutor as much as you’d like to claim.
