Pain And Suffering Human Beings
1,135 words
When faced with the choice of sparing an animal's
life or saving a human being, most people would
reasonably choose to save the human. But are human
needs more important than non-human animals? Most
people think of animals as objects whose purpose
is to serve our desires and whims, whether for the
taste of their flesh, or the feel of their fur and
skin, or the profit that can be made from either
of these activities. Perhaps we should rethink the
multitude of ways we use animals for our purposes

are required to demonstrate the truth "beyond
reasonable doubt." This is difficult for a
'knower', such as a historian, to be able to
assert this at the witness stand. Let's say that a
young couple has just been married. The young
couple stays together for a couple of months
before they break up. When the two individually

lead to Osteoporosis. In the first phase of our
investigation, we analyzed a series of colored
solutions using a Spectronic 20. The second phase
