firstly although I admit to being both horrified and fascinated by the idea of creating artificial souls in cyberspace the idea of (after a period of interaction with human caretakers) letting those artificial souls develop their entirely digital society is equally fascinating. as for essentially recreating the souls of newborns to serve as the Adams and Eves of the new virtual world that I am equally torn on. on the one hand it is an opportunity that many would jump at but one that newborns are almost entirely unable to understand are just as powerless to protect themselves from. as for the products of such an artificial environment essentially creating a society that while still imperfect lacks the disregard for laws, strictures, and so on that so plagues human civilizations (past, present, and future) that part while it does seem extraordinary to creatures like humans who acclimated to a legislative environment where the rules are pliable it is possible that in a virtual world and one that is almost entirely populated by artificial souls that such a litigiously rigorous society could not just exist but flourish.
