I apologize for my vagueness, I mean to say do you believe (knowing exactly how the spell works) that using it is immoral. I do not mean specific uses, I mean the action itself. Think of the fireball spell, it is not considered immoral, casting it is fine but it can be used to kill someone which...

Excellent answer! On another note, do you believe animate dead is immoral from the standpoint of the omniscient observer?

I've touched upon most of what you stated in other posts so if you feel like rummaging around you can see my answers to those questions. As for you're commenting on my postscript, yes you are correct in saying I cannot use my theory as an argument.
