And whilst I haven't gotten round to actually reading much of Jonathan Balcombe's *Pleasurable Kingdom* yet (too busy, aargh!), I have seen him speak and from that and the bits I actually did manage to read, I can only tell people to go and buy the book! (Or read it in the library) Besides, he used Bizarro cartoons in his lecture, that's got to score him some brownie points with readers of this blog, right? :))Jantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575106241965341083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-48172948365516746562008-08-12T16:46:00.000-07:002008-08-12T16:46:00.000-07:00Not very funny.Not very funny.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467020194112923397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-24308377969153208202008-08-12T14:48:00.000-07:002008-08-12T14:48:00.000-07:00Oh, wow.

A sentient creature is "responsive to or conscious of sense impressions." Objection 1: how do you know a fetus isn't sentient during the first three weeks of life as sentience is a difficult quality to observe. Objection 2: if sentience is consciousness of the senses, what about someone who is in a coma? They are unresponsive, unaware, and unconscious of their senses. In other words, an unconscious person or animal is not sentient. Yet, most people would agree that it is wrong to kill someone who is in a comatose state.Josh Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211058285623879594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-12704965082681500862008-08-11T11:01:00.000-07:002008-08-11T11:01:00.000-07:00I love your depictions of scientists, but feel the...I love your depictions of scientists, but feel the need to make a note- yes, a scientist is supposed to strive to be unbiased, but you have to choose something to research. Researching something takes time and money, so you end up wanting what you're researching to be important somehow. So you end up with the bias that what you are researching is right, and you try to prove it; basically self interest and self bias. The difference from other professions is that typically, for any scientific finding to be really recognized, you have to submit it to a journal where many of the people who disagree with you have the chance to reject your findings as unproven before the journal ever publishes it. Therefore the rigour is more in the process than the individual.<BR/>Rob<BR/>Grad Student of Computer Science, still stuck in DallasUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067630201555753254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-56529689798152656822008-08-11T09:14:00.000-07:002008-08-11T09:14:00.000-07:00Regarding my ethical postition: I won't do anythin...Regarding my ethical postition: I won't do anything to an animal that I won't do to a human child within real life. In other words, there are not toddlers in the woods, so the problem is hypothetical. True carnivores eating other animals is natural, so I don't step in. Modern human use of animals is anything but natural or necessary, so this is the sort of activity that I will not be involved in. <BR/>Regarding unborn children, my concern is sentience, as opposed to a spiritual reverence for life. The vast majority of abortions are performed on a bundle of cells with no brain activity. The last thing this world needs is more humans and the fetus has no sentience, so I'm all for terminating early pregnancies. Late term abortions occur under a wide variety of circumstances, usually regarding health threats to the mother, so that's a whole other topic.Pirarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340738828876740970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-29143763798133132932008-08-11T07:13:00.000-07:002008-08-11T07:13:00.000-07:00"Currently, I won't do or subsidize doing anything..."Currently, I won't do or subsidize doing anything to any animal that I wouldn't do to a human toddler."<BR/><BR/>How about an unborn child?Josh Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00211058285623879594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-4725168773110260092008-08-10T23:38:00.000-07:002008-08-10T23:38:00.000-07:00"Currently, I won't do or subsidize doing anything..."Currently, I won't do or subsidize doing anything to any animal that I wouldn't do to a human toddler."<BR/><BR/>I agree wholeheartedly.

If I knew there were toddlers out in the woods behind my house in danger of being eaten, I would take action to prevent it. But surely you wouldn't do this for rabbits, for example. You'd have to destroy the entire ecosystem to take this to it's logical conclusion. So how is this morally acceptible, if you consider animals the moral equivalent of people? Like I say, I just want to know. I'm trying to make up my own mind about what I think about animal ethics.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141040566131538098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-84844469106436715852008-08-10T16:11:00.000-07:002008-08-10T16:11:00.000-07:00Clowns are scary, but it's nice to know your back....Clowns are scary, but it's nice to know your back.Demeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329086343908062605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-15839556127820507312008-08-10T16:09:00.000-07:002008-08-10T16:09:00.000-07:00I read you every time you post, and I'm glad you'r...I read you every time you post, and I'm glad you're back.
