Because it is against everything this country was built on:
Preamble to the Constitution "and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity"
Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary 1 : the offspring of one progenitor to the furthest generation 2 : all future generations
So if we are to protect the rights and liberties of all future generation and every person in this country from now into the future, isn't it not only unethical but Unconstitutional to experiment on, deform, and very likely "kill" whatever potential life we feel like? Or should our government do everything within its power to defend the rights of those that it was given the responsibility to protect?
AOL is backing out of the internet subscriber market and in need of an alternative income. They are taking notice of their small and nimble friends (ie Google) and have decided that it is time for a shift into advertizing. Now all that is left to be decided is whether or not this new advertizing stratagy will bring back this sleeping giant.
Sony has a habit of wanting to control everything. Betamax, Memory Sticks (manufactured exclusively by and for Sony), UMD, blue ray, the PSP, even the new PS3 will have the ability to control all of your media on the machine. The only thing they have learned over the years is that for new technologies to catch on, you do need the support of the other big dogs. What Sony recently learned is that they are going too far in their attempts to "control" their consumers.
