I'm fairly sure some other people can, as well.No surprises here for me, though I'm not sure I'd use the term "deserve." I took out a fair number of my supposedly basic imperatives years ago, including the one to produce offspring. If everyone was like me, this would be the last generation of humanity. Luckily for the species, most people aren't.Yes. I should note, however, that I don't necessarily consider them 'my people' just because they're biologically the same species as me. I treat the average human being with way more respect than they generally deserve, not because we share a biological link, but because they are intelligent (admittedly, mostly in theory) creatures with a lot of potential. It's got nothing to do with a sense of kinship. I'd treat intelligent creatures of a different species effectively similarly.</blockquote>
