It is arguable that humans have higher moral status (and,specifically, FMS - full moral status), compared to animals who mayhave lesser moral status. What are some morally relevant reasonsfor this? Be detailed and analytic. Do you agree with this claim?Explain why or why not.There is also a criticism of the view that humans have highermoral status than animals: this critical view is called Specisism:it claims that there is nothing morally relevant that isexceptional about human beings. According to this view, humanbeings do not have any exceptional moral status. What do you thinkof this view?
