"One thing's for sure. If I found out they were experimenting on live people simply for crimes they committed or something of the like, I'd have a really hard time not poisoning their water supply on the way out. "

"So you would poison everyone in the colony even if it was likely most of them, like you, had no idea this was going on?"

"There's nothing evil about experimenting on criminals. For all you know the woman and her boy were part of a cannibalistic rape gang that preyed on this colony for the past three years, they finally caught these two, and they're putting them to a better use than just turning them into fertilizer. You think they're likely to get volunteers for this kind of thing? For all you know they're close to finding a cure for the zombie plague and you just casually poison all of them because you don't like how they did it."

"First off, if the leader of the colony says it's fine, it's fine. Laws that exist now no longer apply, the laws will be made by each colony as they see fit. What is and is not criminal will be completely redefined depending on where you are.

Second, what are you using to define evil? The Bible doesn't say anything about not experimenting on criminals, so what makes you say it's evil? Is it based on what people believe is evil now, because once again, that is going to change drastically."

"None of my business really.

I might find out who here is a surgeon and keep track of the number of people who live here.

Since we are new here, have our firearms been taken from us?"

"The difference between cowardice and wise strategy is invisible to those who fail to recognize it.

When faced with enemies of superior numbers history has shown that poison, bio-warfare, nukes, and the bombing of civilian centers become viable tactics."

"Except in this scenario there are no enemies, there are allies and friends who you have a moral disagreement with and decided to murder."

"Was the teeanger someone I recognize as part of the group? If it is I would confront the man in the coat immediately to find out what's going on. It sounds like he's either doing a c-section or removing a parasite."

"Unclear

And vivisection is not the same as a C-section. With a c-section you only open the lower part of the belly.

Vivisection (in this context) is the body cavity as a whole from neck to hips."

"And I don't like to assume that anything involving wiggling parasites in people's chests is "none of my business" when it's going on right next door.
