      If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.

        With humans yes, but in the case of non-human animals these decisions are up to the owner.

            The differentiation “human” is artificial and made up…

            Uh… So the differentiation between ‘cow’ and ‘chicken’ is also artificial and made up, as well as the differentiation between ‘rock’ and ‘jetplane.’

            What’s your point?

          Arguing with vegans is like arguing with antivaxxers, they are positions based on emotions and they have their own version of reality they use to reinforce their believes. They often claim they have studies to back up their claims but the most shallow dive shows them to be bullshit.

          It’s literally evident as they try to reframe this as rape. Their need to lean on rhetoric shows they have a strong basis for their believes.
