My favorite part is where Blowhard accuses Zachriel of being "over-educated".
What a maroon.
Meanwhile, Barry Arrington drops his pants and bends over:
| Quote | | …if all individual human beings possess dignity, then they should not be viewed simply as resources that we can treat however we please. To take an example then, it may be that we could achieve rapid and significant progress in medical science if we were to conduct wide-ranging medical experiments on groups of human beings. However, because human beings have dignity, so it is argued, this means that they possess a particular quality that grounds certain moral obligations and rights. These obligations and rights restrict what we may permissibly do to them. As such, inflicting great harms on individual humans, as would be inflicted in medical experiments, is impermissible on the grounds that human individuals possess dignity. The dignity of individual human beings prevents us from doing certain acts to them, even if those acts would lead to great social benefits. |
Arrington translated:
"Since my favorite color blue is, in fact, not objectively the best color of them all, then I'm not going to allow anyone to have a favorite color of their own. Your taste in color is invalid and indeed doesn't exist since there is no objective standard for which certain colors are better than the other ones."
