62. wow

I had never heard what you mentioned re: infant anesthesia. How could anyone assume that!? Crazy... (I say "crazy" with the complete understanding that many years from now, our descendants will look back on us and the views we now hold and wonder the same thing!)

I dont think we will ever give equal consideration and status to animals. I cannot imagine a scenario where the life of a human and say, the life of a deer are held to be equal. I DO think we will increase our compassion towards animals but where does one draw the line? At insects? Worms? Do we include plants? Maybe sequoias and ancient oaks etc but what about dandelions and thistles? Im not trying to be trite, I just think that on so many issues, its not black and white but gray.

"...since we can't even do that with our own species, I'm not holding my breath." I hear you but dont give up hope!
