I’m genuinely a vegan because I think racism is wrong.
Single cells don’t have a mind either. Minds are made of neurons. An embryo begins developing neural cells during the fifth week of development. That’s just a few neurons, though, not a full brain. A fetus doesn’t get smart enough to process sounds until the late second. If a mind isn’t even complex enough to process any sensory information, is it more deserving of life than a cow? Cows like to run in the grass and play. They have social relationships. Fetuses aren’t that complex.
Obviously I am not talking about fetuses. I responded to the racism comment and the inner lives of people are generally not that complicated when tbey are in the womb. I am just using this as a reason to value humans over animals.
Also, minds are not made out of neurons, brains are.
