Shouldn’t the question be “which is better, a tiger or a designer tiger?”?
Do we care that the tiger is a violent dangerous predator? Is that part of what it means to be a tiger? If we remove the predator from the tiger, is he still a tiger?
Yeah, but that’s a crux. Tigers might be awesome, but they’re not optimal.
