### Ganglia Tho Hypothetical
|
||
|
||
>For example, say we had a braindead body on life support, and some people (like loved ones) who would experience emotional well-being if you took them off life support. Would you say "screw their emotions, we should apply the precautionary principle to that body's cerebral ganglia". I personally wouldn't. I'd take the wishes of those people to supersede keeping the ganglia alive. Likewise, I can't think of a good reason to deny people well-being from eating oysters.
