| contents | Are humans natural speciesists? What we can we learn from trolly cars, self-driving cars, and hypothetical sinking ships Hal Herzog Comunicación Speciesism animal rights moral dilemmas animal welfare animal protection An ethical cornerstone of the animal protection movement is that elevating the interests of humans over other animals – is, like sexism, racism, or homophobia – a form of discrimination that is ethically unjustified. Yet, most people intuitively value human lives over the lives of other species. Studies using hypothetical moral dilemmas suggest that the moral rule «spare people over animals» is culturally universal in adults. But in these situations, children typically make the opposite decision – they elect to save dogs, cats, and even pigs at the expense of human lives. These studies raise important questions about the universality of moral principles, the relative importance of socialization and cognitive development in our beliefs about the use of other species, and the roles of emotion and rationality in human moral judgment. 2025 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511782476006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476006/511782476006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511782476006/movil 10.7203/metode.16.29021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.5 Vol.15 |
