1. The neroethical argument for vegetarianism
The neuroethical argument for vegetarianism is raised by this question: how do we as humans feel pain? Our bodies feel pain through the central nervous system that will cause us to identify harm and how we will react to that harm or pain. Therefore, humans primarily don’t eat other humans due to that pain we would imagine suffering when killing another humans because the pain seems intolerable. Thus, we as humans do not eat other animals that we feel are intelligent like dolphins or monkeys. So the issue is this: why do humans feel the need to eat things with a central nervous system when they can in fact, live without meat? Humans do not always think of the pain that a cow or pig or animal must endure to be able to provide human with an item they enjoy. No one would go to someone’s house, grab their dog, and microwave it for a meal because they sense the dog would feel pain when suffering through the process. They also rather not do the work, such as slice a cow’s throat, for the finished product; rather they want someone else to do it. It is then that vegetarianism becomes a moral issue because it is a choice. If humans take the time to better understand the bodies of themselves and other animals, they may gain sympathy for animals, no longer making vegetarianism a moral issue.
2. The remainder conjecture
The remainder conjecture is when we as humans exhaust every and all forms of explanations to mundane events. When biology, physics, chemistry and science cannot give sufficient evidence, we accept claims that end up with a remainder because it is beyond science’s reach.
3. The genetic connection
It is said that humans and a wild grain of rice have genes in common. In fact, a quarter of our genes are shared with that plant. Given that information, we as humans have to understand that we have a lot of things in common with other living things such as plants, animals, bacteria, etc even though we may not look related. Chimpanzees, yeast and rice plants have similar genes to a human, but are used in different ways. This information can influence or impact our worldview by doing more studies and trials with medication on these living things that could benefit a human being. It can also make us better understand why these things exist.
