I appreciate what you both are saying. And I agree with you both as well. To be honest, I think I am trying to express the same views. I have been pretty sick for the last few weeks with a ruptured appendix and on some pretty good narcotic pain killers. I doubt I am expressing myself as eloquently as I might otherwise. LoL.....
To be clear, what I tried to express in the first place was my opinion only. I am anything but judgmental. As you said, Skip, that would be hypocritical. Thanks to my wonderful drugs, my opinions may well have sounded as though I was being judgmental - and for that I do apologize. I don't look at morphs of any species in the same way as hybrids though - just making that distiction. A hypo false water cobra and a piebald mussarana are still pure of their species. But that's neither here nor there - your point is well recieved.
As one example (and PLEASE no one jump all over me for using this example!!!), I disagree very strongly with same-sex marriage. Yes, I am pretty conservative. However, two very close friends of ours are gay and are attempting to marry. I do not judge them or condemn them for their choices - these are their choices and only they can make them. They are still and always will be our friends. We love them no matter what.
The same is true for me in this situation. I never said that I would look down on the op if he/she attempted that breeding. But the unfortunate reality of our culture is that there are people who will. The op should be aware of that if they should go ahead with it. But the choice is theirs and it is not for me to say what they should do.
I hope all that made a bit more sense. 3skulls, very well stated!! I am bowing out of the conversation now as I think I ought to be healthier and a bit more clear-headed before attempting such serious debate and/or advice.
