Plants are life. They react. Simple as that. My collective point is that while we obviously use plant and animal life, we should do so with respect. As for saying that a plant cannot want anything, this is correct (as far as we know) in the same exact sence that the post by Traitorfish was. What ever verb I use, I use it to stress relation.

Using your arguments, you cannot say that your pet dog wants, or feels as we do. Just because they have reactions, does not mean they "think" the stimulous is negative eh? Who knows if animals do really think and feel in that case... Apples and oranges man...
