I'm not making a judgement one way or the other in this case, but 'cruelty in creation' is something that may need to be considered more in the coming years. Pugs are my favorite example-- always in respiratory distress, abnormally short life spans, and unable to normally reproduce. It isn't some kindness that we create pugs the way we do-- just a gap in traditional morals. We may confront this more should we find we've created an intelligence with the capacity for emotions.
