So if humans became immortal* and couldn't feel pain anymore then they should not have rights anymore?
* I assume that with "alive" you mean "can die", because I see no other reason why "being alive" could be relevant to your argument.
- himinlomax 6y agoIf humans were completely different from what we call humans, they would indeed have to be treated completely differently.
- sammax 6y agoThat's such a dumb non-statement. The question is not "should we treat them differently" but "should they have rights at all".
- himinlomax 6y agoThey should have rights, but they need not, indeed they cannot be the same as for mortal beings. Consider: falsely imprisoning someone whose lifetime is limited for years is bad in that it's extremely unpleasant, but also because it deprives them of a finite resource. The former is true for an immortal being, not the latter obviously.
