Would that possibly be balanced by the chance that the Oracle could find in the opposite direction later, making us retrospectively guilty as well?

- gadflyinyoureye 4y agoWhat’s the guilt in that scenario. “Oops, you allowed a thing to become a person. “
- dane-pgp 4y agoSure. Guilty of the deaths of the women who received unnecessarily dangerous and illegal abortions, guilty of the deaths in childbirth of women who otherwise would have had abortions, and guilty of something like (but less severe than) slavery for the women who had to gestate children which they didn't want to. Someone could probably run the numbers and work out where the line should be drawn to balance out the costs of over- and under-estimating, given a uniform random distribution for where the Oracle's line could be.
