The Spanish Herald: The Spanish Socialist Party will introduce a bill in the Congress of Deputies calling for “the immediate inclusion of (simians) in the category of persons, and that they be given the moral and legal protection that currently are only enjoyed by human beings.” The PSOE’s justification is that humans share 98.4% of our genes with chimpanzees, 97.7% with gorillas, and 96.4% with orangutans.I’m not going to mock, since I don’t know what was actually stated in Spanish, but it seems to me that giving them “human rights” seems less sensible than extending rights beyond the scope of the human to other species. Just, you know, logically speaking.
