You're talking about how much it would benefit us. The same applies to level of intelligence.

But what I mean is, why should it matter how much it benefits the rest of us. Surely it should be about whether it feels physical and emotional pain.

...and your cousin would feel pain but your brother wouldn't even be aware of it.

Haha, I guess we're never going to agree. :D
I just mean, for me the most important thing would be who felt the most pain. Regardless of how it benefitted everyone else. Too many humans in the world anyway. Don't need anymore.

I prefer avoidance over abortion as well. I'm pro-choice but I don't like abortion at all.
Oh well, let's talk about something less depressing. :D
