I'm a dyed in the woll moral relativist. I actually find the concept of moral absolutism morally repugenent, as someone who is unwilling to consider circumstances when make decisions is someone who is unwilling to think.
Peurly for a value of life prospective, animals died to produce the meat in my freezer, many many insects probably dies producing the lumber to build my house. The grain to provide the flour in my pantry is likely linked to a minor gopher genocide. The chemicals related to the production of all the vinyl products in my house may have on net taken a couple minutes off several peoples lives equating to a real human toll. Simplifying a questions to "do you value human life more than objects" reduces the fact that the two things a inextricably linked.
All of that to say, LET THE ######ER DIE!
