Presumably you are a sentient being with emotions.LaBloggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279685172995764828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9466278.post-17386468413328630002008-02-25T22:50:00.000-08:002008-02-25T22:50:00.000-08:00why is it immoral to kick a sentient being with em...why is it immoral to kick a sentient being with emotions?Mark Seeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777363451409828099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9466278.post-38010132613732922922008-01-31T15:46:00.000-08:002008-01-31T15:46:00.000-08:00Hi Samantha, thanks for the comment.

Fragging a backed up and easily restored digital human, if not occurring in consensual gaming (e.g.; as in Charles Stross' Glasshouse) or perpetual ARG (alternate reality gaming) covenants societies, would be a prosecutable offense, though clearly of a lesser magnitude than meatspace's homicide or manslaughter.LaBloggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279685172995764828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9466278.post-11667741203621248852008-01-19T13:25:00.000-08:002008-01-19T13:25:00.000-08:00To me a perhaps more tangled question is of ethics...To me a perhaps more tangled question is of ethics within computer games and virtual worlds with respect to AI fellow players and inhabitants. I imagine the same sorts of rules apply as in "meat space" with regard to the level of intelligence particularly social/emotional intelligence and awareness of the non-human virtual inhabitants. <BR/><BR/>I have always found it a bit alarming that people who seem perfectly ethical and reasonable in meat space happily go blood-lust crazy in MMORPGs fragging everything in sight. It leads me to wonder what they would be like if uploaded or if they knew that everyone was fully backed up.samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637374540680524149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9466278.post-76518447114511448922008-01-02T06:02:00.000-08:002008-01-02T06:02:00.000-08:00Hi cyber cat, thanks for the comment.
