I expect FMF to come back with something like, he had no choice so the question is meaningless.
We'll see what fancy philosophical footwork FMF will come up with to reply.
His task - to not say anything suggesting human beings might be in any way better that the poor under appreciated cockroach.

Being human is better - in just about every way I can think of - than being a cockroach Haven't you been reading the thread?

What would you reply to the charge that you are practicing an undue "specieism?"
How would you respond to someone charging you with a Species preference like Racism, quite [edited] unwarranted and self servingly bias towards humans?
@sonship saidI probably wouldn't take them very seriously but if they had the debating style and personal/intellectual equilibrium of someone like, say, moonbus, it might be interesting to hear them out.
