I changed my mind after I researched them.
I think I'm a better person, morally, now than I was then, but that's more to do with getting old, learning, experiencing, etc. In fact, I'd say that most of my moral outlook was formed by me relating to people on a one-to-one basis, rather than philosophy, parapsychology or mass media.
But if people are "just a pack of neurons", then they're a fantastic, fascinating, amazing packs of neurons that deserve love, consideration and friendship.
