Admiral Regulus 2,769 September 13, 2015 Share September 13, 2015 You can't, like, buy a sentient being, dude... I don't even recognize ownership of pets. I refer to it as guardianship. Would you say that you're going to buy a child? No. Then I wouldn't say I'm going to buy a pet. It's adoption. Doesn't matter if it's from a store. Still adoption if it's a living thing. (Well, not plants. Duh.) Anyway, if MLPs were real, I would certainly consider adopting one, if I had the financial situation to support what is basically a child, and if I was ready and able and willing to be a parent, which I'm not. If one did adopt a pony, you'd have to realize that it's no different than a human child. We're talking raising this being as your own, preparing her/him for life and the world, and when she/he is grown, giving her/him the independence which is the basic birthright of any sentient being. Actually, I think it's pretty simple. If something doesn't exist at all, then it just doesn't exist. There's no logic in feeling sorry for something that doesn't exist, feeling as though this hypothetical being is missing out on life. I'm not going to get into an abortion debate, which is what I feel like this conversation could easily go careening towards, but if I simply choose to never have kids, then am I a bad person for denying my hypothetical child, that never existed in any form, a shot at life? Of course I'm not a bad person. If we ever had the technology to create life artificially, it would most certainly not be unethical to refrain from doing so, any more than it would be unethical for a couple to choose never to conceive a child. Having the ability to create life doesn't make it tragic to not do so. We don't have a duty to create every hypothetical lifeform possible. If the non-existence of anything is a tragedy, then the universe is filled with infinite tragedy, because there's an infinite amount of beings that don't exist. To think that way is rather absurd, in my honest opinion. Creating sentient life artificially is fraught with much more ethical dilemmas. You know full well that if ponies like this were made, actually made in the real world, many, many of them would suffer, and suffer greatly. Which is why I said it's a matter of perspective. Personally, I'm not sure where I sit on the issue. I think it's absurd to think that nonexistence is tragic; I totally agree there. And while I also think nonexistence is better than existing and having a terrible quality of life, I see nothing wrong with creating a being such as a pony for selfish reasons, as long as the being does have a happy life. There are many things in the real world we could compare this to, but I actually wasn't thinking of abortion as being one of them. I think the better comparison would be, for example, raising livestock for food or intentionally cloning cattle for meat. 1 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IJoinedForPonies 126 September 13, 2015 Share September 13, 2015 There is no way anyone would get away with something like that, that's considered slavery... I made an OC!
