Does biology have an ethic? a poem for discussion

[T_aquaticus]

So it could be established two forms of good, ontological and moral. Life itself in any form seeks the ontological good as ultimate goal is life seeking. Moral good is the application of human intuition in judging the workings of bio-ontological reality.

As mentioned in the link in my previous post, we do have the Is-Ought problem. Seeking to live and reproduce just is. It is nearly impossible, or perhaps impossible, to derive Ought from Is.

Is–ought problem

@Troy

For example living peacefully with other beings is the right way to seek life, vs seeking to harm others as a way to seek life.

There are plenty of examples of intraspecies competition. Is it unethical for two ant colonies of the same species to attack one another?

@Troy

The Herbivores (ruminate, split hoof) are models of animal goodness, these obey the command in Genesis 1:29,30 to eat the grass and vine. The unclean animals eat things not commanded (pigs are worst is seems). Also the things closer to the ground are unclean, the ground was cursed in Gen 3, satan banished onto the ground. Ground is associated with death which is the juxtaposition of life. Again we see a ontological goodness and human morality underpinning these religious motifs.

I am of the opinion that any ethical rule that goes against eating pork has to be wrong.

@Troy

Interesting Jesus identifies as the bread and wine which is made of the grass and vine, and tells his followers to eat his body and drink his blood in order to receive eternal life…

I always thought it had more to do with the color and texture of bread and wine.
