Is your answer to my previous question "Potential to do good"?

If a human person was sufficiently mentally disabled to have as much or less potential to do good as the pig, would it then be morally ok to kill that person and harvest their organs?

don't compare the mentally disabled to animals

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

humans are animals
comparisons don't have to go along the value axis. Saying "mentally disabled people own more clothes than non-human animals" would be an example.

Go virtue signal somewhere else pls.
