Yes you do. You feel that denying consideration of their lives
gives you a bigger pile of "moral bargaining chips " than you
would have if you did consider them. The fact that you believe
it is obvious, but so is the fact that you can't explain WHY you
think it does. Since you can't explain WHY you think it does,
all anyone else can do is wonder along with you WHY you feel
that way. You can't explain it because you don't understand it
....you just know you believe it because a "talking pig" told you so.
