Would vegans accept pigs kidney?
I would imagine this to vary between vegans. The ethical equation is different when looking at a life or death transplant vs a meal that could just as easily be substituted for a vegan alternative.
Good question! I'm curious too.
So, there's emotional vegans and intellectual ones.
I could definitely see an intellectual taking one of the pigs kidneys and giving both the pig and the kidney a good home. Maybe not though. That's why this is such a good question.
I have convinced an intellectual vegan that it was ok to eat farmed clams and oysters. Because:
You are going to have a lot of difficulty convincing me that that thing is at all sentient. What would even the purpose be. It just sits there and filter feeds. (I could go on, but I won't)
The lastest research I've seen about this kind of farming suggests that it is probably beneficial to the ecosystem, and if it's not, it's largely neutral.
I would assume no of the pig was killed for the organ.
You don't just pop into the supermarket for a kidney. Animals are probably reared in strict conditions for the research and then harvested.
The pig embryos have to be specifically genetically modified such that their organs don't have proteins that would cause an immune response in humans.
You can buy kidneys in some supermarkets.
Not living ones though. Just saying.
But you're right.
