ABSTRACT

Marcus William Hunt argues that when co-parents disagree over whether to raise their child (or children) as a vegan, they should reach a compromise as a gift given by one parent to the other out of respect for his or her authority. Josh Millburn contends that Hunt’s proposal of parental compromise over veganism is unacceptable on the ground that it overlooks respect for animal rights, which bars compromising. However, he contemplates the possibility of parental compromise over ‘unusual eating,’ of animal-based foods obtained without the violation of animal rights. I argue for zero parental compromise, rejecting a rights-oriented approach, and propose a policy that an ethical vegan parent and a non-vegan co-parent should follow to determine how to raise their children.

摘要

马库斯·威廉·亨特（Marcus William Hunt）辩称，当父母双方在是否将其一个或多个孩子作为素食主义者的问题上存在分歧时，他们应该达成妥协，作为父母一方出于尊重父母权威而送给对方的礼物。乔什·米尔伯恩（Josh Millburn）辩称，亨特关于素食主义的父母妥协的提议是不能接受的，因为它忽视了对动物权利的尊重，而这种侵犯会损害动物权利。但是，他考虑了父母对“不寻常进食”妥协的可能性，即在不侵犯动物权利的情况下获得的动物性食品。我主张父母零折让，拒绝采取以权利为导向的方法，并提出一项政策，由道德纯素的父母和非素食的父母共同决定如何抚养子女。
