When I apply real-world morals to the fictional situation, my answer is a clear no. Inventing a credible villain is part of the game, but never forget we're talking about a villain. A less cruel slave owner is still owning slaves, and controlling the body of an unwilling sentient being is just unacceptable. Even using volunteers (like the Tok'ra) is iffy -- I don't think a society should allow people to sell their kidney, let alone their brain. No truce with mind-rippers, as one of my characters would say. He has some flaws, but that is a virtue.
