植物也有生存權

via :treehugger, May 9.
Revolution is in the air, as the Swiss Government's Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology concludes that plants have rights, and we have to treat them appropriately. A majority of the panel concluded that "living organisms should be considered morally for their own sake because they are alive." The Weekly Standard, which is appalled, gives an example of how a farmer mowing his field is OK, but if he carelessly decapitates flowers while walking home, that is immoral. It suggests that "The animal rights movement grew out of the same poisonous soil." Patrick Metzger at Green Daily suggests that "this concept is a little extreme even for the most committed treehugger."


"living organisms should be considered morally for their own sake because they are alive."

瑞士政府認為值物是活著的物體,　在道德上應該有其生存權.　一般人注意動物權保護,　是不是應該想一想植物？
