One of many slippery slopes, eh?I see so many stories now on the news that are about the normalization of EXACTLY what the ethicists of 10 years before SWORE we fine humans would never allow to happen. These stories then go on to include today's ethicist SWEARING that the next dire possible development can't POSSIBLY happen...
And yet we have the obverse-- remember the way recyclers were sure NO ONE would ever "get" recycling, and now it is widely taken for granted?
A society evolves, and we can only even-dimly see the part we are in at each given moment. That's where value judgments have to be made, IMHO. In the RIGHT NOW.
So which things are OK to allow/assist to evolve, and which not??? I guess we can agree to disagree on Who or what made the rules, but wouldn't you agree that we are in charge of what we decide to do, allow, and support?
Our human tendency is to follow the energy being allocated to our own natural knee-jerk reaction, and start the kicking contest in our rush to understand what we are too small to understand.
As an alternative to making this another thread with yelling at each other in it (I am not saying this one means to or necessarily does have that effect!!!), I propose we take that thought with us as we look around ourselves for the nest few days, and come back to me with what we think about the spcifics of what we see.....
