In response to Samantha question, "If consuming animal flesh is morally wrong, is it also wrong to consume animal byproducts such as milk? "

I believe this is another very debatable question...it all depends on your beliefs.

Many people are vegetarian because they feel it is morally wrong to consume animal flesh but they still consume and use animal byproducts. Although I am not a vegetarian I think one of the reasons for this might be because it's (for lack of a better word) apparent as eating meat is that it's something from an animal. Another argument might be that a byproduct such as milk doesn't require killing the animal and if done properly shouldn't hurt the animal their. In fact if cows that are raised as milking cows don't get milked when they are suppose to that can actually hurt them.

Then there are the people who don't eat animal flesh or use any of their byproducts becuase they do think that it is morally wrong. There are also people who choose to do so because of health reasons. And of course there are the people who do eat animal flesh and use their byproducts. Like I said no matter what you do I think it depends on your beliefs.

Question:

Based off of Samantha's original question...If is morally wrong to consume animal byproducts such as milk wouldn't that bring up debate on wheather or not it's morally wrong to feed a human child a mother's breast milk??
