We Asked, You Answered: Human Exceptionalism

September 29, 2023/in Philosophy, Uncategorized, We Asked You Answered /by Kelsey Hazzard

We asked our followers on social media: “Question from a commenter specifically for atheists & agnostics (whether pro-life or pro-choice, doesn’t matter). IF you believe humans warrant more consideration/protection/resources/defense than other species, why?” Mind that IF; we know that the secular, pro-life, and animal rights movements sometimes overlap!

Harry Potter Explains How Fetuses are People

April 10, 2023/in Ableism, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Elise Ketch

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter established a schema to define which people may be classified as wizards. We can use an analogous schema to deduce which humans qualify as people. Harry Potter is a wizard by his essential kind. That means, because he inherited the nature of his two wizard parents, Harry belongs to the kind […]
