Why this dilemma matters
This is a right-vs-right question: every choice respects one value while sacrificing another. Choosing “Yes. The risk of creating suffering is too serious” prioritises the cleaner moral line; choosing “No. Strict monitoring is better than banning a field” gives more weight to the smaller real-world cost.
Worth asking yourself
- Would you defend this choice to someone affected by it?
- Is the principle worth the concrete cost?
