Phenotypic similarity and moral consideration
Animal sentience, Vol.23(35)
2019
Abstract
Identifying specific traits to justify according differential moral status to humans and non-human animals may be more challenging than Chapman & Huffman suggest. The reasons for this also go against their recommendation that we ought to attend to how humans and non-humans are similar. The problem lies in identifying the moral relevance of biological characteristics. There are, however, other reasons for treating non-human animals as worthy of
moral consideration, such as the Precautionary Principle.
