True, but if it’s not the area in which Phil judges moral relevance, then I want to know why he thinks chimps and humans are different.
I do think chimps and humans are different; but most members of PETA probably believe they are more different than I do. I think you’re reading positions into my post that aren’t there.
If you’re not willing to advocate testing on humans who are similar to chimps, I want to know why.
I advocated alternatively testing on humans like myself.
I apologize, I was focusing on a lot of the comments and missed that you had made that point.
I don’t currently know what the rules are for human testing. I think it should be theoretically possible for humans to submit themselves for whatever testing they want, but I also think that as soon as that market exists, there will be those who attempt to exploit it in ways I’d consider unethical. That’s a complex issue that I don’t have an opinion on yet.
