The Tall and the Short of It: Ah, Those Exceptional Humans

This is a great picture published in the UK's Daily Mail memorializing a meeting between the world's tallest and shortest men. It's a hoot. And it got me to thinking about the wonderful diversity of our species.

Bao Xishun is 7 ft. 9 in., while Pingping is 2 ft. 4 in. Because we generally don't measure moral value by stature (at least, not any more), I doubt whether anyone would dispute that both Misters Xixhun and Pingping are equally human beings possessed of equal moral worth. Would that all humans--regardless of their "attributes or capacities" were so perceived.
