Virgin rain is a weather phenomena common to heat ridden areas, where rain falls but evaporates before it hits the ground. This phenomena can cause a great deal of stress if an area has been suffering from drought. It does nothing but cause frustration and desperation where there should be hope

I don't know much about criminal law, or justice systems, but I do know that building life from other life on Earth, in my time and place, would not only be frowned upon but highly illegal.

Change?

[knightambition]

What if one remains alive?

[orderonto]

Then I suppose we begin to ask it whether it wants to remain alive.

[knightambition]

Do you believe it has a right to have that choice?

[orderonto]

Who are we to decide whether a being innately deserves to live or die.

[knightambition]

May I add that I fully intend on discussing this philosophically and not literally? I do not wish you to think I'm a murder without any compassion.

The original question should state - who are we to create unnatural life out of the lives of something that was once living?

[orderonto]

I would never have considered you one. I default to assuming most conversations are hypothetical.

If we are the cause of their existence, then the ethical dilemma is then, whether it is more moral to destroy what shouldn't exist, or if it harms nothing, to allow it to live undisturbed and happy.

[knightambition]

Can something be happy once nature has rejected it?

[orderonto]

Why not?

[knightambition]

Happiness is a state achieved through the acceptance on oneself.

If nature rejects something, can someone accept oneself?

[orderonto]

I believe that they can, with a little encouragement.

[knightambition]

Is this a matter of optimism versus pessimism? I'm a terrible pessimist.

[orderonto]

No. This is a matter of whether or not we believe that we can influence the nature around us to accept us, though it doesn't wish to and struggles not to.

[knightambition]

Some species can influence the Force, if you consider the Force as a sentient extension of nature, to accept almost anything.
