Title: [CRL] The Sentient Rights Act
Post by: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 08, 2025, 08:16:07 PM
Whereas, it can be said that one objective in granting rights is to reduce suffering and enhance flourishing, so the use of sentience as a guiding characteristic may be more appropriate, and

Whereas, it was the trailblazing philosopher Jeremy Bentham who wrote in 1789, "The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?", and

Whereas, sentience is the characteristic of consciousness whereby an organism has a sufficient level of awareness to experience suffering, and

Whereas, sentience has been proven to be a characteristic not exclusive to homo sapiens sapiens, and

Whereas, it is therefore a fact that the restriction of the normative and legal discussion and codification of rights to humankind is an unacceptable case of anthropocentric speciesism.

Therefore, be it enacted that el Lexhatx F.5.3.13 (Culture) which currently reads:

Quote10 December. Human Rights Day. A suggested method to celebrate Human Rights Day is reviewing Article XI of The Organic Law and/or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Is revised and to be inserted immediately following el Lexhatx F.5.2.7 (Culture) to read as:

QuoteF.5.2.8 10 December. Sentient Rights Day. A day to celebrate the dignity and honor the rights of all sentient beings.

Thank you.  I think you are now misplacing the proposed new Lexh.F.5.4, personally, but in form and function there are no other problems.

I vote to approve.

Thanks for your review, to address the potential misplacement I removed the statement. The renamed day of observance makes a sufficient moral statement.
