@BigMuffN69 @Amoeba_Girl A thermostat has less moral significance than a human, but not infinitely less, and this is subject to change. The notion of fluid boundaries between degrees of moral patiency imply fluid boundaries in capacity to formulate and practice moral rules, and accepting this would conjure a more or less continuous ontological crisis in people proportional to their traditional seriousness.
