You won't hear me argue about morality for species other than human beings,
so the first point is irrelevant. I'm wondering how it isn't true in
principle for humans today, and as medical science continues to advance.
I'd be glad to learn more about that.

As others have indicated, this question and any response belongs in a
separate thread. I'll make an effort at answering your concerns shortly, if
you'll look for it.
Thanks and take care,
