For me this answer is pretty simple, and is whichever answer has the least suffering. That depends on how painful said illness is, how long it lasts before death, is it contagious? how contagious? and what can be done to reduce suffering on the kittens, and what suffering would the death of the kittens cause, and what about my sister? I don't think anyone has a right to life, infact (I hope this doesn't put me in an asylum) but if given the choice to detonate a terraton or whatever goes after megaton nuclear device killing everyone, and without risk, I would destroy the entire human race.Do animals have a right to life?
