Reply to comment by Dejan05 in Lab-grown meat could let humanity ignore a serious moral failing by phileconomicus

If the social benefits to humanity outweighed the harm to animals? I'm not saying that's true, but if it were that would for me be a reason.

I mean you'd have to develop as to why our species would have more objective worth than any other, but sure that could be a reason though I don't see how wide scale farming would ever achieve that

My perspective is that things which are closer to us are weighted more highly than things which are more distant. In the same way I care more about my family than I do about society at large. Again, that's not an absolute. As I've said I don't believe in absolutes.
