Anyway, getting back to abortion....

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Did you know that the usage of "Control-C" to abort a program goes back to the DEC operating system for the PDP computers and dates back to the 1960s?
Nobody thought about the morality of just aborting operating system processes. And the abortion was not even restricted to processes that were just being launched; any process, even fully matured ones, could be sent the SIGINT signal.

Once AI-programs are identified as life-forms there's going to be a demand for reparations, and you, my technologically proficient friend, are going to be right at the front of the line.

That's not fair. I for one have always argued for the middle ground of making program abortion legal for processes that have consumed less than 3ms of CPU time. Typically, at this point, the process has not yet started any inter-process communication or allocated any persistent data. Arguably, it's not a process yet.

Your epistemological arguments are unconvincing.

I knew that.
