    I would also answer “Human lives are worth the same as animal lives”, simply because Humans are animals.

    Never trust the answers to questionnaires with such basic mistakes.

      Yeah, I’d like to see the results from the question : I have a gun pointed at your long time childhood friend and one pointed at this cow, now is this cow’s life worth the same as your friends life?

        I have a gun pointed at your dog and another pointed at a guy that’s going around eating people’s pets…

        You are mixing the rational component of the question in general with the emotional attachments of particular situations. This kind of “I know it in my heart” drive is the same that drives things like racism and xenophobia.

          Their point still works though, just reword it for less unnecessary baggage if you prefer.

          Do you press the button which saves some random human somewhere in the world, or the button which saves some random cow? I’m pretty sure most people choose the human

            Most people would also press a button that will save a random human of their country over a random human from another country. Does that mean people have different value depending on which country they are from?
