>Ethics says you need to prioritize uplifting the entire species
This is just a misunderstanding, as in the result should be an overall net benefit, even if in practice it only serves a subset of people, which accumulated over time produces the same thing = everybody benefits eventually or on average, and everybody doesn't mean you can't kill people in the process either, it just has to be proportional to the benefit of the rest.
>Ethics says you need to let criminals go because they're just a product of a broken society
And this ultimately is just a generalization, especially if we consider that incarceration is pretty unethical. It's barely even productive.
There shouldn't be many people you'd need to incarcerate, and that's something that has to be worked on, but also something where the system must have a good structure.
Look for instance at all the unethical shit the legal system does because of favoritism.
Ethics aren't exactly black and white anyway, but a scale you can drop off
>more ethical - less ethical - unethical
There's nothing unethical at all about doing god knows what with human embryos, for instance, as long as the eggs were procured in an ethical fashion. Now if you actually start growing mutants that may be less ethical, but producing experimental fetuses with a high likelyhood of benefits from their editing is fair, if the legal aspects of this are managed properly; like whose kid even is this? Probably shouldn't raise it in a lab like in anime.
To a degree it's even unethical to forfeit certain avenues of human progress, possibly damning the species to extinction.
