I am glad that you asked this question. In a recent class on fumigating noxious planets inhabited by carbon-units of surpassing low survival qualities + large 'mouth'-holes in {ugh} whitish-looking 'faces' -

A second year student from Cygnus opined that.. perhaps we should not be too hard on the Terran system since - it was our very own explorer ship whose ejected urine bags, led to the spawning of this particularly banal life-form (then the class snickered when s/he whispered, Do you know how they *have sex* there ??)

After the guffawing (and uncontrollable snorting from the very long-necked Rigelian) subsided - it was decided that this question should be taken up at the next ethics colloquium; after all, we allowed the smallpox bacterium to survive in its small crystal microbarium.

Still.. should this 'second-hand smoke' show signs of migration from the Terran Quarantined Sector, well.. Gort has his instructions. In keeping with their highest ethical valuez: we'll just 'buy' them and then we may treat them as they treat their other 'abandoned pets': Banal Life Systems Terminated.



Hope this puts your mind at unease,
