Argument from marginal cases: The argument from marginal cases (also known as the argument from species overlap) is a philosophical argument within animal rights theory regarding the moral status of non-human animals.  Its proponents hold that if human infants, the senile, the comatose, and the cognitively disabled have direct moral status, animals must have a similar status, since there is no known morally relevant ability that those marginal-case humans have that animals lack.  "Moral status" may refer to a right not to be killed or made to suffer, or to a general moral requirement to be treated in a certain way.
