Actually, one probably could estimate it fairly accurately and on
a day when I'm really ambitious, I'll probably attempt that
(since its such a JUICY idea). { Aside to female readers --
I am in no way trying to diminish your past/potential future
losses associated with abortions; I am however willing to separate
the emotional loss from the physical loss, since the physical
loss (and corresponding gains in other parts of the global
ecosystem) may be quantified. }
The great thing about it is that it provides a quantiative
relationship between the value of "human" vs. "non-human"
meat (meat intended as such, bygones for those offended).
Spike, my hat is off to you for the interesting insight.
It provides fertile ground for demonstrating to those
mono-thinking sub-cultures we encounter where their thinking
may be incomplete. As it says in the Bible -- man
should be the caretaker of the Earth, and if by sacrificing
ourselves or our children so that the Earth may fluorish,
then that must be Gods will.... { My interpretation,
may be highly inaccurate, but given the contradictions
in the Bible, I doubt it... } Personally, to me, it
makes much more sense economically, to sacrifice those
children before they have had an investment made in
them, not after they have reached the age of military
service....
And of course it demonstrates where our group-mind
(borganization) uplifting (by sharing novel ideas)
is of benefit to us all (the presence of children
not withstanding...)
