Living beings are not a commodity. Since no one is able to put into ‘alive mode’ any creature that has ‘passed away’ be it an ant, an elephant or a human being, at that, if it has been declared dead on all facets it is dead and will remain so, until all or most of its com ponents dismember.

If it were a ‘commodity’, its members would have been put together at first instance, through someone’s reflection, later through someone’s genius, maybe including a factory or laboratory in the process.

Such is the composition of robots of various kinds.

Both commodities and living beings seem to be alive, as they jig or saw and move in all directions. The machine drives on until it is switched off.

The living creature only seizes from being active when it is in now way operative any more, internally or externally.

Yet, any other ‘commodity’ can be brought into action from the state of rest, by the energy moving through its circuits, given optimum conditions.

Then I must conclude that living beings are diffrent from commodities in this most decisive quality. Since they can not be vivified in any way, after they have been killed or discovered dead, they are to be respected while they are alive, since they are so much fragile than any commodity.
