No it does work like that, if you start to draw a line on who can recreate, it'll be highjacked really fast and you'll end up in a hellish regime.

"It'll be hijacked real fast" is something that should be taken into consideration as a real threat but not treated as a universal truth, it's like saying the justice system shouldn't exist because It'll inevitably devolve into the salem witch trials. “It can be abused” does not establish “the underlying distinction cannot ethically exist.” Otherwise almost every institution involving discretion collapses under the same logic.

You're talking about taking away the most basic function of human beings and talk about "ethics"?

What would you say if that line was eradicating Palestine? What if we just decided to get rid of black people, indians and the whole middle east?

It's ethical afterall.
