I’ve been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal’s no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I’m writing here.

  1. Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?
  2. What if it was between your cat and a stranger?
  3. Why?

    You seem to quite fundamentally, or perhaps simply maliciously, misunderstand your sister? Or maybe I misunderstand you?

    1. My cat
    2. The stranger? Maybe
    3. Because I know how worthless a human being my “worst enemy” is and I could justify the loss of a great many good things if they were removed from existence. If the only “loss” of removing my worst enemy is getting to keep my cat, then obviously, I’ll do his family a service and take this monkey’s paw.
