  Is this your reply to all straightforward moral arguments, or just the ones you disagree with? It's not my fault that answers can sometimes be simple. If you trawl through my comment history, you'll see I've discussed ethics on topics such as torture[1], corporal punishment[2], whether possession of certain information should be illegal[3], the Dallas PD's use of a robot to kill the shooter[4], smart guns[5], and even whether we should make natural predators extinct[6]. Sometimes, my answers to these moral questions are simple. Sometimes, they're not. In this case, it's the former. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10963920 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10963920 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10531577 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10531577 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8725500 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8725500 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9280711 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9280711 3. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441708 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441708 4. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12059148 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12059148 5. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10494398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10494398 6. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10476699 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10476699
