> For everyone's sake, don't test your theory on any toddlers. I do not kill dogs belonging to other people (or any dog, to be clear), why should I kill toddlers belonging to other people? And if I claim that toddler is an external limb of parents, than killing toddler means damaging parents, it is like to cut off their arms or something like. It is a good enough reason to not kill toddlers, isn't it? > Why draw the line at age 3, and not 9 (Age of Reason) pubescence (Coming of Age), or post-pubescence? Because the line between a person and not a person is drawn to separate humans from other animals. To make humans special and to give them rights to kill animals, to own animals. We need a way to justify our denial of animal rights on land or on any other kind of property and so on. So we should try to draw a line such a way, that reflects specialty of humans.
