    I don't fully agree, but it's a perfectly valid point of view for somebody to hold. My main reservation (and it is only a reservation, not an objection) about it is: If you start on this path, where do you stop?

    To try and make clear what difference I mean between a reservation and an objection, I have some minor reservations about capital punishment, but no moral objection to it. (However, I have one huge practical objection. If it finally turns out that the court has got it wrong (courts do get it wrong, no matter how good the police and judiciary may be) and sentence has been carried out, it's a bit more difficult than usual to make any meaningful form of restitution.)
