Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?

Ah, my apologies.

WatDabney, to whom I was replying, seemed to be suggesting that freedom is not worth the price of any life under any circumstances, and I was expressing my disagreement with that sentiment, though I could’ve done so more clearly by, for example, making explicit the ‘under any circumstances’ part that WatDabney only implied.

Lemme try again: I disagree that there are no circumstances under which causing the death of a sentient is a greater wrong. I think standing between me and my freedom is one of those circumstances in which causing the death of a sentient is the lesser wrong than keeping me enslaved. Which, judging by your initial reply, you do as well.
