I will make the argument that the treatment of others based on one’s interpretation of their moral agency is arbitrary and wrong. To begin I will start with a discussion of what characteristics moral agency are comprised of and what it means to humans, followed by an analysis of how these attributes are manifested in different beings and how it affects their treatment by humans,…
