A possible issue here is not animal vs. human life, it’s about our pain vs. someone else’s pain. Who wouldn’t prefer someone else deal with pain if we actually had a choice?
Try this scenario:
You take your dog to the veterinarian one day. After a checkup your vet tells you that there is a man in your town who has a rare condition and is desperately in need of a new liver. He tells you that this man cannot have a liver transplant because he is not strong enough to handle the surgery. However, he tells you that some recent advancements in biotechnology allow animal organs and cells to be used successfully in humans for situations just like this. The vet then tells you your dog has an extremely rare blood type (the only one known) and that it matches that of the man whose liver is failing. The vet says that they can isolate a blood-based enzyme from the dog which can reverse the man’s liver failure but that the dog will not survive the harvesting of that enzyme. The vet says that he has to have your permission to even call the medical technologists and tell them there is a match. You know nothing about the man other that what the vet just told you. Do you give your permission?
