Say before you are born you get pulled to the side and told, hey, there's two spots open. So you get to choose: do you want to be born as a dog or a person?
As a person, you will get a good start. As you grow you will own yourself, get some rights and power to protect yourself and to generally direct your own life. You can try to get a partner and raise a family if you want. But you also have to pay for everything yourself, likely live under government control, and fight and work for what you want for the whole 75-ish years you are alive.
As a dog you will be owned by someone who controls your whole life (including whether you get a partner or start a family) and you can't do anything about it. Your life is totally in their hands. But, you will get a good owner. They pay for everything, protect you, and give you the type of life you would want as a dog. Also you only live like 15 years so you will likely just have the one owner.
What do you think? Which one has the best pros or the worst cons? Which would you rather and why?
