Master/slave systems are probably a-ok for them though.

The only reason killing children is bad in their view would be if the child is unborn/not spawned already or if they want to abuse it but can't anymore.

But wait, does the child lifetime begins when the compiler determines that a child should spawn at runtime, or does it begin when the child is actually spawned? And in any case, what did they do to deserve being killed?

Trick question: original thread sin makes it ok to kill as many children as you want, whenever you want.

They'd probably be fine with that as long as they're not unborn

Would deleting an executable file without running it be equivalent to an abortion? Or is it more like contraception? Either way some religions ban both of those
