>1. Yes I have a pet.

Actually that is very interesting.

>2. Humans are different than all other animals

In what way? Because we happen to be the most intelligent (we know of)? Suicide and euthnesia are also things happening in the animal world (as homosexuality, adultery, masturbation).

>3. Because we value human life over all other life.

Are we? Maybe if it were westerners. But when it comes to endangered species peoples lives are are lost in the attempt to save them from extinction. Personally I value the life of some endangered species a lot more than certain people.

Personally I don't give a hoot about the lenght of life (see my sig) but way more about the quality of it.
