Let me guess, you'd be opposing a cure to ebola even if it didn't involve animal testing because "Why do you think that it is okay to kill poor hapless ebola?"

> "Why do you see this as different/worse than deliberately infecting other primates? Is it because they do not have advanced technology?"
Sure, let's go with that one. Humans are able to research and eradicate diseases, but monkeys are not. Humans therefore have a greater inherent worth.
Go proselytize somewhere else.

So would you agree with the statement that Westerners have greater inherent worth than Australian aboriginal adults? After all, they don't have the technology or knowledge to research and eradicate diseases. How about vs. the Amish? They choose not to engage in such research. How about a normal human adult vs. an invalid? I'm curious where you draw the line. > "Why do you think that it is okay to kill poor hapless ebola?" > Go proselytize somewhere else. I feel sorry for you, that you are both so easily offended and lacking in debate skills that your response is so childlike. I was hoping you'd could provide a level-headed counterargument to mine, as I'm open to challenges to my worldview. Sadly it seems you're little more capable of checking your emotions than everyone else who downvoted because they disagree with me.
