It's a shame that you answered with hypotheticals rather than your personal views. When I said "Is it ok to kill someone if we treat them well while they are alive?" I was actually referring to animals. I don't see them as things I see them as individuals with their own personalities, social bonds and capacity to enjoy life, even if they can't always express it in a way that we understand. Following your view that humans have extra duties (i.e. rights) that don't apply to animals, who would you feel more connected to a child rapist paedophile or a puppy? And why?
