What is distinctive about humanity such that humans are thought to have moral status and non-humans do not? Providing an answer to this question has become increasingly important among philosophers as well as those outside of philosophy who are interested in our treatment of non-human animals. Some argue that there is an answer that can distinguish humans from the rest of the natural world. Many of those who accept this answer are interested in justifying certain human practices towards non-humans—practices that cause pain, discomfort, suffering and death. This latter group expects that in answering the question in a particular way, humans will be justified in granting moral consideration to other humans that is neither required nor justified when considering non-human animals. In contrast to this view, many philosophers have argued that while humans are different in a variety of ways from each other and other animals, these differences do not provide a philosophical defense for denying non-human animals moral consideration.   According to the passage, why has it become increasingly important to answer the question (first line) about the moral status of the non-human animals? OPTIONS     1) Answering this question will enable us to understand the nature of human beings and the scope of our moral obligations to non-humans.   2) Answering this question will enable us to extend moral considerations to non-human animals as well.   3) Answering this question in a particular way will enable us to grant moral status to humans and deny the same to non-humans.   4) Answering this question will provide philosophers with the defense for granting moral consideration to non-human animals. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day While solving questions based on Jumbled Sentences, after choosing the correct option, read the sentences in the order as mentioned in that option to verify the correctness of your answer. more tips Last year's Question of the day (02-Mar-13) If the students of a class are arranged in a square formation, 5 members are left out of the arrangement.
