Hi Stephen P. King
I define good as that which enhances life and evil
as that which diminishes it.
Is pro-life activism enhancing life or diminishing life?
Some pro-life doctor are against euthanasia, even passive euthanasia,
with the result that they transform dying patient into machines. But
most of them are naive believer, and as such, they disbelieve comp,
and so their pro-life activity begins to be contradictory.
The question is: does an artificial, or even virtual body, enhance
life or suppress life?

Hi Craig,
To me it boils down to a willingness to be objective. If one
defines a standard of measure of good and bad, then one must apply
it consistently. Otherwise there is no such thing as "good' or
'bad". Tribalism comes with a shiftable measure of good and bad
(stealing from non-members of the tribe is OK, stealing from tribe
members is bad, for example), this makes tribalism bad, IMHO, not
matter what kind of tribalism it is!
