Why this dilemma matters
Moral dilemmas like this expose a gap between what feels principled and what feels workable. Choosing “Tessuto. Senza coscienza non c’è soggetto da danneggiare” prioritises consistency with one rule; choosing “Categoria speciale. Una biologia umanoide merita protezione” gives more weight to attention to specific consequences.
Worth asking yourself
- Is the principle worth the concrete cost?
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
