>>Animal welfare is a branch of ethics, i.e. there is no given right or
wrong answer. The extropian list isn't really the place to debate it IMHO.<<
I'm still an animal and my welfare is exceedingly important to my extropian views.
>Of course, there is a relation to extropianism, though.
>If we don't care about eating animals, why should the superhuman AI's we
spawn care about eating US??<
