Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Amen! I’ve always said that a right to life requires an entity to be able to benefit emotionally from having that right.

    In essence that means:

    • It knows it can die
    • It knows what a “right to life means”
    • It can recognize whether it has or doesn’t have a right to life

    And an additional rule is: any entity that attains a right to life keeps that right until it dies even if it drops below the threshold cognitively. This is to prevent anxiety around the thought of losing one’s right to life when in a coma or asleep.
