Well, the reason I moved from vegetarianism to veganism was because I realized that my concern for others was more than a diet; it involved my whole lifestyle and outlook on life. While I don't have much sympathy for criminals (whose lives seem to be centered around *not* respecting others' rights, which to me is what veganism is about), I don't think we have the right to experiment on anyone who isn't willing or making informed consent. Of course, someone might say, do we have the right to lock them up in the first place, but I guess I would say yes, because they showed they could not respect others' rights and in order to protect society as a whole they had to be isolated. But, no, I don't think we have the right to experiment on them. Even if we made the law say that " if you break law X you will be imprisoned and experimented on " , I still don't think we have the moral right, because often people who end up in jail don't have the ability to think long-term, so the threat is really meaningless as a deterrent. Okay, how's that? Carol (throwing ball out of her court) PS East Indian, I love curry, I believe it's Indian in origin, is that right?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Hi there Carol . . . Thanks, my name is East Indian in origin. NO, I don't think you have to be from Toronto to be a part of Planet Vegan, I think the whole point behind this is to create awareness to our Vegan ideals, eh? I am vegan for the most part ... today we were discussing casein in Tofu Rella . . . I consider myself a vegan, but I eat Tofu Rella occasionally (once every couple of months). Yes, it's very difficult to find a partner who shares your beliefs. A lot of guys and girls who are hip in Toronto are also pretty superficial, and to find a partner who is at least a vegetarian is a surprise. I won't have meat in my home either . . . my roomy has cheese and milk occasionally in the fridge, but never eggs! 90% of the time she does soy milk, and rarely ever eats cheese in the home. We are basically vegan at home, but outside my roomy is lacto-ovo. Yeah, I guess we think Toronto is pretty cool too! We never would have met if we didn't live around here. So, welcome to our mail list ... we like to talk about politically sensitive issues such as speciesism, etc. I raised an issue in one of my last emails, but no one has touched it yet... using prisoner's as research animals. Want to go for it? The ball is in your court!
