not really… identifying and/or ruling out genetic origins of diseases isn’t racism.

my moral objection to this is: we shouldn’t be scanning and storing hitler’s dna; that’s how you end up with Hitler clones.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Would a Hitler clone be morally culpable of someone else's actions?

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

not exactly, but it should still be killed as quickly as possible

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that make you an immoral monster who "should still be killed as quickly as possible"?

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

oh, you’re a silly one, aren’t you?

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe if logical consistency is silly. You argued in favor of killing someone unjustifiably. Moral principles mean nothing to you?

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

it’s not unjustifiable to kill a clone of hitler, but i’m not going to break it down for you, silly billy

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't think you've even broken it down to yourself. Killing a person who hasn't done anything wrong is inherently immoral. It's basic logic & moral reasoning.

you keep trying, but once again:
no, i am not going to explain to you why i believe hitler clone should not be allowed to live.
i have broken it down to myself, it’s clearly pointless here.

and there’s NOTHING basic about the morality of what to do with a hitler clone, so get over yourself… ya silly bastard

Nah, brah. It's settled: you don't explain it because you can't & simply lack moral principles. The only one being "silly" about it is you.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Nah, brah

there’s no way i would ever take you seriously, silly bitch

The sort that would want a Hitler clone would be happy with a direwolf-style pseudo-clone with good marketing.
