Captain Amazing, could we perhaps agree that the PD is too simplistic as it stands, (Rather like "Though shalt not kill, except in self-defense, or to defend an innocent against an agressor, or when you are putting someone out of thier misery with their coherent concent, and unless somehow killing them will save the life of many other innocents) and that a responsible Federation would deal with each new planet as a seperate case?
