Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
Well, a new bright spot in our firmament is pig hearts. As if we hadn't already thought of a million ways to torture animals, and made BLTs the sandwich du jour, now we can use pigs for body parts. Actually, I think I have a few pig body parts already, and without the surgery. I won't eat pork, because I know from my twp grandma's farms how intelligent and sweet they are. Plus I've seen "Babe" a few times. I know, it saved a man's life, but really. Our collective souls are on fire for what we humans do to animals, and this just puts the icing on the cake.
Would I refuse a pig heart? Perhaps if I were young and my parents wanted me to live, but, no I don't think so. I am not stupid, I know research does awful things to bring me medicine to aid in my survival. I don't want to know about it, but vaguely, I do. I once was a pork entree on Halloween, when I was in graduate school, but that was not serious. Somehow, this is so sciencefictiony that I envision a rise of the planet of the pigs, and I for one could coexist with the new world order. How could it possibly be any worse than the world we have now?!?
