The Silent Scream of the Asparagus,Get ready for plant rights. May 12, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 33 A few years ago the Swiss added to their national constitution a provision requiring account to be taken of the dignity of creation when handling animals, plants and other organisms. No one knew exactly what it meant, so they asked the Swiss Federal Ethics Committee on Non-Human Biotechnology to figure it out. The resulting report, The Dignity of Living Beings with Regard to Plants, is enough to short circuit the brain.the panel determined that we cannot claim absolute ownership over plants and, moreover, that individual plants have an inherent worth. This means that we may not use them just as we please, even if the plant community is not in danger, or if our actions do not endanger the species, or if we are not acting arbitrarily. (and you all thought I was crazy)
