  • Which non-humans are we not permitted to kill?

    By non-humans I'm referring to e.g. extra-terrestrials, artificial intelligences, cute puppies, etc. This has nothing whatsoever to do with whether a given organism is human or whether a given human is a person or whatever. For purposes of this question a computer program is "alive" and may therefore be "killed" by terminating the process.

      Agreed, but I'd also include apes, programs that pass the Turing test, and extra-terrestrials who are sentient and aren't douchebags.

          The question was which are we not permitted to kill.

            The welsh ?

            Well, I use MOBIUS as a typical specimen of those, but it could be unfair.

                Australians are the descendants of the worst Wales had to offer, ie. the 19th century equivalents of Mobius.

                  I would wish he was - then he would be 20.000 km's away from me instead of some couple of hundred kilometres

                    Pheasants, between 2nd February and 30th September.

                    Well, in the UK at least.

                        Only New South Welshmen, i.e the convict lot.

                              According to the now-defunct dolphinsex.org you should not have sex with a male dolphin because its ejaculate is deadly (much like shoving a firehose up your ass could be potentially deadly). Female dolphins are fair game.
