Well spoken. That's exactly the point I was attempting to make. If everything has a soul, then the only difference in killing a person versus a mosquito is the value attached to the person versus the value attached to the mosquito.
Thus, if I don't value you at all, it there should be no penalty for me killing you. I mean really, that's exactly what people do every day. You assign a lesser value to indirectly killing a ___ and eating its 'product' than you do 'suffering' the inconvenience of going without.
