What do you think about the book Fuzzy nation concerning the "sentience" of animals? Specifically in the sense of rights and recognition for future species.

Well an animal couldn't decide if it wants a DNR. And children have legal guardians until the mature age of 18 for a reason, I would imagine the reason is along the lines of metal development. If an animal could gain another legal status other that property, what would that legal status be?

How could they be more than property if they cannot make decisions? They can only be interpreted no?

What would be the difference for animals in that they are changed from property to having a Guardian? What would they gain from it?
