AB - This paper takes aim at a reply to Professor Choi Hoon’s critics of my two papers, “Peter Singer and the Ethical Vegetarianism”(2007), and “Animal Pain and Sensation of Plants”(2009). I argued three points by these two paper. First, Singer’s sentience-based theory of moral status does not consider the meanings of pain in organism, especially human beings in its fullness. Second, the whole considerations for human pain including animals must deal with ontology and semantics of pains, including value theory of plant life, and third, I have argued that Singer’s argument cannot be justified because his reasoning which is excluded his other sensations except pain-sensation is a kind of arbitrarily preferential considerations, although a plant cannot feel something like animal’s pain, it seems to me that such a state of plant do not mean she is not conscious, moreover if the plant has some sensations, it can be said that she is also a conscious being.
Professor Choi went into detailed criticism that my arguments in my two paper cannot succeed through his two paper, “Was Professor Maeng Successful in Refuting the Ethical Vegetarianism of Peter Singer”(2009), and “Sentience Theory Reconsidered”(2010). This time I will still argue that sentience cannot be the only necessary and sufficient condition of which decide on moral status of a being, and especially the pain is only one of elements which forms total activity of a life for his own good life. So I will develop this view under the title ‘argument from the Integral Dependence based on A Good Life’ in contrast with ‘argument from the Isolated Independence based on the Sentience’ which is name after views of Singer and Professor Choi that I want to refuse.
