I really don't know what argument you're trying to make. All I know is that it's falling flat on its face.

How is DEATH not personal? And we're supposed to just grab the popcorn and watch innocent people get hacked in two for an hour?

Emotionally disturbing, perhaps, but not personal. Watching a man get beheaded doesn't affect me beyond the shock factor or the sickening action.

It never was. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who recorded their last moments for their future generations.

No one said you have to know about that slug, only that some people want to see the slug.

Considering that it doesn't fill the requirements for being sentient, it isn't that odd.
"Sentience is the ability to feel, perceive, or to experience subjectivity", something that fetuses can't do.
A born baby's ability to do this is no different from a fetus'. At least not a late term fetus.

By this logic, NOTHING is important. There isn't any video that has been watched by the majority of the world.

You said that if only a "minority" watching something, that means it can't be important... But maybe it's important to that fringe group.

How do you judge anything to be important? Clearly the term is subjective to the individual.

That.... makes no sense. The internet isn't restricted on a town or village basis.
