>>4226611I kind of see where you are coming from but not completely. People did think this way before the enlightenment period went full swing. Even then enlightenment thinkers recognized that extending human rights to the wrong people could cause harm.
I think it would be hard to do not because we think we are above nature but because of the knee jerk reaction to viewing others as inferior due to obvious reasons. I think that we need to preface these ideas by recognizing first how dangerous it is to classify others as subhuman IF not heavily regulated. For example these regulations can be a unanimous vote by jury to declare someone subhuman.
