Damn, I love your response, even though I don’t know of I agree! Are you Vegan?

I personally see it as No, because I see us humans as special. Speaking as an atheist, end of day, we are special as humans.

I eat meat, I try to limit it to the ethically harvested. Hunted, family farm grown, it even tastes the best, any concerns aside. But eating a person is WRONG, consent or no.

Why if it wrong though? And why/how are people special? You didn’t provide any reasoning to either.

It’s interesting that you ask if they are vegan, as if understanding the ethical problems of eating meat would only be valid if you are also strictly vegan.

You evidently understand it is not completely ethically correct to eat animals in all circumstances, as you say you only eat ethically harvested meat. But you also say you believe humans to be special as a reason to eat animals, so why not eat all animals under all circumstances?

The main point though, why would it still be wrong to eat human meat if lab grown and consensual?

I’m not vegan or vegetarian anymore because I have a lot of allergies that prevent me from eating plant based anything. But I also try to limit it to locally and ethically harvested when I do eat meat.

I identify as agnostic and definitely don’t believe that any one living being is better or more special than the others (except maybe cats).
