Which makes human's very different and special.

Just how Animals are more valuable then plants do to their far superior cognitive functions.


Given the choice between being forced to kill a dog and a cat, your choice is just going to be base on which animal you like more. 

Given the choice between killing a dog and a human like creature with human like intellegence.  You're going Dog every time.

 

Is "valuable" really the right word? Considering that plants produce oxigen, plus they're the chief source of food for herbivores (who are the main source of food for carnivores), I'm sure that plants are actually more "valuable" than most lifeforms on Earth.

Also, you can't really deny the subjectivity of the claim that humans are more "special" than any other lifeforms on Earth. Not as if humans would ever admit to the contrary.

In an individule sense yes.

And how can't I deny the subjectivity of it?

Name an animal more special.

What trait is more rare or unique then man's higher levels of consiousness.

What if you had to chose between your mother and an alien with superior intelligence?
