Reply to comment by TarantinoFan23 in On Whether “Personhood” is a Normative or Descriptive Concept by ADefiniteDescription

Same but if you're extending that to parasites then why not viruses and bacteria and what not? At what point does it become an exercise in futility?

I mean I know this is just a virtue signal and you aren't actually donating to charity whenever you take an antibiotic or whatever but it's an interesting logic to probe regardless.

I do the charity, I don't pay others to do it for me.

My goal is to love life and use technology to replace killing. Even if it takes a long time.

You literally said "donation". That colloquially means money, but okay. If we're debating semantics then the conversation has already exceeded it's usefulness. Sorry for probing what clearly hasn't been thought out.
