[PDF] Specimen BMAT S3 Writing Task Question Answered 4 BioMedical Admissions Test.pdf | Plain Text

Question answered: 4 The statement claims that dolphins are at the same intelligence level and so very similar to humans that they are possibly, or indeed probably, self-aware and so cannot be considered as just another animal species. Self awareness reflects our own species Homo Sapiens as opposed to mere Homo Sentients. Similar status should be accorded to dolphins and they should be awarded the basic rights and privileges that we give to humans, such as the freedom to live. Yet, dolphins are merely another species competing with the rest of the lottery of evolutionary supremacy. We, humans, are on top because we won the race fair and square. Many other species; bonobos and great apes also lay claim to higher than average intelligence and since we are nearer to them on the evolutionary tree if any special status is to be bestowed by Man on another species it is more reasonable to award it to a species nearer our own. There is no particular overriding reason or special claim that dolphins can make for special status. They could have evolved back to gill breathing or advanced to become land mammals. They didn’t. Tough! As the top primate and most intelligent animal on the planet Man rules the roost. Our traits of empathy, sociability and need for fellow contact set us up to anthropomorphise about other animals and see them as seeing their world through our eyes and thinking the way we think. If pure intelligence does indeed indicate self awareness then the capacity for species to suffer greater anguish if they cannot express their innate behaviours is all the greater. We cannot ultimately know if this is true, but given every species is built of the same atoms and molecules such lines of reasoning seem tolerable and probably true. The lines of difference between us and other higher species can blur easily re mentally subnormal humans and animals. Where do we draw the line in assigning rights? Keeping all the best rights just for ourselves seems selfish. Sapient animals are entitled to be considered special and in my opinion are indeed entitled to special ethical status.
