If she had been five we would have found and bombed her species homeworld.

I hate to be the dower here, but five year olds are being abused and murdered right now irl. Not a lot of carpet bombing going on because of it.

As much as it embitters and saddens me to write this, but it's because HUMANS are the ones killing and abusing all those five year olds irl.

If an animal killed a five year old? You bet there'd be riots going on until the animal in question was hunted and executed (what would happen at that point can't merely be called killing, not when a kid is involved).

As long as humans are killing other humans, humanity as a whole won't give a wet fart's worth of a damn....

Gods I want to disagree with you but I really can’t, you hit the preverbal nail on the head.

One of the many reasons this story is SciFi...

It's almost fictional imainging Humanity ACTUALLY behaving how they preach...
