On Software and Ethics
Recall that not so long ago slavery was morally acceptable and it took courage for some to step back and question that. (*) My point here is that we currently do not question what we do to software but in the future killing a computational process or even attaching a debugger to it would definitely cause certain moral questions to arise. So we should question what other contemporaries consider obvious and take for granted and reconcile new answers with future computational perspectives.
(*) Philosophy, by S. Law, p. 15-16
