Here is my stand for these 4 people:
I don't think that it is ok to lock up potently dangerous people up for the safety of others. I don't think it is ok to lock up potently dangerous people for MY safety. I think that everybody should be treated equally, and that judgement should come only AFTER/ONLY if they STILL make crimes.
That is the core of our disagreement here. The where it all starts and the thing that we do not agree on at the start. Everything else is what happens afterwards.
Samara is with those 4 people. Morinth is with me on this.
I do think our disagreement stems from our lack of complete knowledge of the AY condition..
Presumably if someone had a genetic condition which meant that would emit airbourne toxins following puberty if around others, then you would agree with them with locked up, as it is certain to happen and beyond their control
If the AY condition is as determined as the above case, then we are right in suggesting that should be the case.. I presume in that instance you would also
The point is that we, in the real world, do not know enough about this fictional condition
It would be better to kill those people, than lock them up then. Or atleast completely sepperate them from society so what nobody feels injust.
Then again a completely loving society would wear rebreathers around those peole. I just can't hope for that kind of society..
What in your mind is different between being seperated from society and the isolation imposed on the AY?
Because, as in the above example, if the individuals offenses can be (within reason) guaranteed to occur, you suggest that they should be killed or "completely seperate them from society"
Entertaining the idea that the AY's offenses can be (within reason) guaranteed to occur, then you appear to support them being seperated from society.. presuming (as would seem to be the case) there is no way of society adjusting to guarantee safety from the AY's condition (as rebreathers would suggest)
Granted you might not believe that the AY's offenses are as guaranteed as in the case I described above, however the point I made was that we do not know enough to say either way, so what I am suggesting is that if it is the case that they are determined, then what?
