    That couldn’t be further from truth. And it should be asked more often.

    Is it ethical for same sex couples to get married?
    Is it ethical to make golfball cores from yeeted fetuses?

    Now the answers to these questions should be obvious (assuming you’re not an asshole on my proprietary metric), but the question still has to be asked before a change to better can be made
