Maybe 'Equivalent' should have been my word of the day. A ton of feathers and a ton of bricks both weigh 2000 lbs, but I know which I'd rather have fall on me from great height. Things can be 'equal' without having 'sameness.' I'm not at this moment sure. I know that I would feel better experimenting on currently living people (With the hope of possibly improving their quality of life, or that of their descendants) than creating new people for the primary purpose of experimentation. But my subjective feelings aren't a good way of defining an ethical code.
