I'm not saying that there are'nt other animals that are sentient, but
those just happen to be the few species that have scientifically been
proven to be sentient.



My definition of sentience is based on a few deifferent traits;
-Complex emotions.
-Complex thought.
-Self-awareness.
-Long term memory.








If we are not willing
to do something to our own bodies, why
should we be allowed to do it to another
organism? Personally, I wouldn’t want to
glow in the dark, it would be hard to slee

Sure I can - it's a matter of different view on "sentient". But, i am very glad - for the German initiative.
