Preservation of Species: A Philosophical Argument Including The Principle of Charity, Species Distinction and Modern Day Considerations
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the idea of preservation of other species in the modern world. As the modern world population continues to grow to over 5 billion, the arguments of the preservation of other species shifts from the preservation of other species to the preservation of our own. At what point do humans begin to sacrifice their lifestyle, their welfares and their very lives in order to preserve other species? Traditionally, the moral and ethical arguments in regards to the preservation of other species focused on philosophical and religious discussions using the virtues of man including the strongest virtue of all; that of charity. This being said, Darwin’s evolutionary theory based on the “survival of the fittest” paved the way for man’s own preservation of his own species. While many argued whether or not distinctions between species should be clear cut in regards to their rights, modern day moral policies are based on man’s preservation and they include the traditional arguments based on religion and philosophy but also include the realities of the world today based on economic, medical and environmental concerns which when administered to the overall survival of the human race may mean the sacrifice of other species in the process of man’s own survival.

Production And Consumption Of Animal Flesh Is Immoral
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. While animals may not be privy to the same type of rights mankind has granted for himself, they are still intrinsically deserving of the rights to a life free of pain and suffering, and to live the way in which nature had intended. One need only look around today's society to recognize the many and varied contributions animals have historically made as a means by which to better mankind's existence. Peter Singer contends that animals have not been given the respect such overwhelming contributions demand and claims that humanity continues to have a problem with getting past the point where it views the animal kingdom as nothing more than a collection of living beings who exist solely to support man's needs.
