I find it hard to value humans above all other forms of life. CMV.

I find it hard to look at all existing animals and place a higher degree of value on a human's life over all else. I believe that all living creatures should be treated with equal weight.

I am a vegetarian, but that does not wholly inform my viewpoint.  I had a childhood history of growing up on a farm, watching, living with, playing with, and inevitably eating all sorts of meats and animals.  I also understand that should events necessitate, the importance of meat in a survival diet.

But, expanding on what I said before, I feel this way primarily from a philosophical and scientific standpoint.  I’m not 100% sure where I draw the line however.  I don’t feel the same way about plant life or microorganisms, so perhaps I could draw the line at sentient beings.

CMV, AMA or just call me crazy.

I don't think you believe that.

Thought experiment:

A train is barreling down a track which splits just ahead. On one track is a human toddler. On the other is a cockroach. The lever is currently in an off center position. If you do nothing, the train will derail and kill both. You can either send it to kill the insect or the human. Which do you choose?

Edit: And if you draw the line at sentience, which creatures have that? Would you change your mind if a duck is on the track? A walrus?
