    I don’t care how they treat each other, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard. And I’m not labelling anyone here, I just said I had mixed feelings about it.

      It’s easier to hold a higher standard when you have all your needs met.

      Less so when you’re poked with giant needles 3 times a week while also having to be careful to not drown because you drank a tad too much water.

        I literally don’t even know what you’re trying to say, I haven’t cast any judgements or told anyone to do anything. Get off your soapbox.

          What I’m describing is Kidney failure and dialysis - well, part of it, it’s even worse than that - the things the doctors and researchers that were involved in doing this transplant are trying to cure.

          The thing you say we should allow humans to go through in the name of holding ourselves to a “higher standard”.

            That’s not what I was trying to say. I was specifically referring to you talking about how animals treat each other.

            I don’t want anyone to suffer which is why I have mixed feelings about this.

            edit: actually go fuck yourself, I don’t care, you’ve continuously put words in my mouth and obviously don’t care about having a reasonable conversation.

      And so we do! I doubt even an organ pig is going to be eviscerated alive, run to death, or asphyxiated by a bunch of sharp teeth around the neck.
