“When people ask where I draw the line, I say I’m not even really sure where I draw the line…What I think in terms of is, where would judges today draw the line using the principles and values that they use day in and day out?“

I believe we can’t define the line until we define the moral and ethical way we treat other life forms. As long as we assume we’re the best there is on planet Earth,we will have a very difficult time finding a line to draw. The legal system deals only in facts,but this issue deals with emotions and a consciousness not everyone is in touch with or even in agreement with, making it very much an uphill battle.
