  People would literally rather die than be dehumanized. We established that loud and clear in the 80's, tried to do better in the 90's, but it took some doing for us to get it. Sounds like we are due for a booster shot.

  Beggars can be choosers. They do it all the time. If you agree that there are things worse than death, how can you also think that people should do anything and everything to avoid death, just because you think they should?

  How about we feed pigs and chickens bugs, like they were made to do, instead of feed corn? I'm pretty sure that's more calories than dogs consume.

  No.
