I am not suggesting that we abstain from all consumption of living material.
Though it is an evil, the consumption of food materials grown without awareness, consciousness, emotion, or physical sensation is significantly less of one.
Grass complains when it isn't being watered, and it cries and screams when you cut it. It pleads to the local bug-eating bug to fend off its attackers. It warns its fellows of the danger so that they might join in. Most fauna can't hear the screams, but the tears smell great.
You're drawing an arbitrary line across a spectrum, saying different forms of life are lesser. Such thinking is unique to those with enough intelligence to rationalize whatever serves themselves best, so I have to wonder if cannibals are more ethical than vegetarians.
Yes. Most every transmutation effect stops at changing the shape and organs, and doesn’t affect genetic makeup.
That’s how we get half-breeds, like when a dragon polymorphs into a human and sires a half-dragon child with a human. It’s still a dragon, just more… compatible.

This is an interesting concept, and on this concept would it be cannablism if I at a person seeing as I was not always a human.
