Medical categories are just that, categories. Women are different

adult is,
and just as killing an ape isn't. It's acceptable black and white for
most...excluding some strident animal rights activists.
Not even strident ones. Many people believe that our fellow great
apes deserve more consideration (limited "human" rights, if you
will), than, say, cows.
900 million Hindus are very fond of cows.
