I disagree with you
Man god fucked that one
I'm white. Is that a good reason to value other white people over all other human life.
Value doesn't exist apart from an assessor.
It could be. And of course is for some.
And it's not necessary for humans to possess (so-called) intrinsic value in order to be valued.
I mean if you valued lighter-skinned people more than darker-skinned people you wouldn't be the first or only person to make that judgement.
Racism is built on such assessments.
No shit. Those assessments are objectively bad. What separates those assessments from your assessment that humans have value because you are human.
Well, they make sense enough to the racist.
I've already indicated, nothing particularly. It's merely a judgement I determine to make. Or that we agree to make.
I don't know man, sounds kind of arbitrary to me.
1. so if the mom stops eating the fetus is going to just hop on out and continue developing until it obtains consciousness?
2. No it doesn't depend. Those two sentences have two separate meanings and thus are not equal. So what? A fetus is neither, all humans from birth until brain death are at least one.
3. Care to present an argument for any of those statements? What is it about human life that is worth valuing? What is it about human life that makes it worth valuing above all other forms of life?
4. I'm beginning to think you don't understand the meaning of the word arbitrary.
Yep. So is sentientism. Or ableism. Etc.
What we choose to value is ours to determine. For ourselves individually and collectively.
Sorry, missed this earlier.
1. We are all dependent on a sustaining environment. None of us is truly independent. So?
2. The fist is a subset of the second.
...the rest we've covered.

Also who the fuck said anything about ableism?
