I'm quite aware of his statement - hence my followup question.

Xwdv is simply stating his own will: "[I want it to be the case that] biological is just better than artificial. [I want that to be] a natural law.", but I'm not interested in hearing individual's will without reasoning, at least here, on an internet forum. I think nobody is. I'm interested in hearing reasoning on the ethics of such question.

You're interjections are not what is being said or implied. It's stating that's how people perceived human slavery and will apply the same logic to cyber. There is no reason. People put themselves first, period, that's it.

> You're interjections are not what is being said or implied.

Then what exactly is being said?

"Biological is better than digital" is a qualitative statement, and all qualitative statements require reasoning. In xwdv's case, the reasoning is "it's a natural law", but that's just circular reasoning (or a logical fallacy known as "begging the question"). "It is because it is".

In other words, "I want it to be that way".
