And that&#x27;s still not responding to the criticism: even <i>with</i> those downsides, it&#x27;s better than all the government-endorsed options. Whose fault is that, and what does arresting them accomplish with respect to their welfare? (Which I believe was your motivation for objecting to the practice.)<p>Edit: I&#x27;m not trying to be snarky; it&#x27;s just that this issue comes up a lot, and I always look for such an explanation and yet never get it. Hence why someone came up with the &quot;Copenhagen interpretation of ethics&quot; argument. If you could actually fill this gap in my understanding, I would gladly help spread the insight to those like me who don&#x27;t see consistent internal logic behind it.
