PLANTS deserve respect, a group of Swiss experts says, arguing that killing them arbitrarily is morally wrong - except when it comes to saving humans or maybe picking petals off a daisy.

In a report on "the dignity of the creature in the plant world", the federal Ethics Committee on non-human Gene Technology condemned the decapitation of flowers without reason, among other sins.Respect plants, say ethicists (http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23541918-5003402,00.html)

It just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Thanks Doc, this explains why I always hear 'silent' screaming when I mow the lawn....................now I know it's the grass crying out as I decapitate each and everyone of them. I shall cease and desist immediately.


P.S. Does anyone here have some meaningful work these ass***es can do? Something that doesn't take any intelligence?

Next it's pond scum. Then it's bacteria. Then it's viri. Then they'll discover "life" in molecules. Then single atoms. Then electrons. Then quarks. Then the Higgs boson. Then superstrings.

I've always said it'll take a lib to set up a defense fund for the AIDS virus.

We wouldn't want the widdlle biddy buggies to completely die off now would we?

While they're at it, the bird flu could become extinct if a demented liberal doesn't act fast!

Only a leftist loon could think of such a demented cause.
