If the brine shrimp are not close to human, then they do not benefit from treatment based on our morals. At that point we only need to consider the effect of their treatment on ourselves. Does confining them to an 'eco-sphere' have an effect on our moral growth. Will owning an eco-sphere lead to other morally questionable activities and acts, such as you often see with children who torture animals and then grow up to be sociopaths? Now THAT is the heart of the matter - well stated! I would add that owning an Eco-Sphere could bring positive moral growth. If the shrimp become pets and the keeper develops a sense of caring for something alive, that caring can extend to higher animals and even fellow humans. -- __ Elaine T __ __' http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__
