Default Human life

Following some of the comments on the organ donors thread I started to wonder what %age of people think that human life is precious above all else.
Personally, I don't think that I have any more right to live than a tiger (or anything else) does, but I think that opinion is common. I think that being religious may have a bearing on your opinion (tho I don't understand why) which is why the poll as it is.

Bloody hell, thats a bit deep.

There's not enough options there for me. I think Yes, but with if's and buts about the greater good - But that doesn't mean I can click the no option. And an option about I'm not religious, but I was brought up that way so retain some of the morality so can't quite tick no.

Don't think a question with so many arguments and counter-arguments can be answered in a 6 point poll.

Interesting question.

We all think that our own life is precious, but from a larger perspective the one thing this planet does have is plenty of people. If we keep believing that human life is paramount we're going to reach the point where life will be pretty s***ty.

That's one of my main objections to organ donation actually.
