Your honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, if you'll just lend me
your ear for a brief moment longer, I shall clear up the "against"
argument for the standing on cyborg Triops.

The members of the Cyborg Triops genus are very concerned about the
recent trend of honourary Vogons standing on them. They would like me,
as their legal representative in this instance, to clarify that
"ethically speaking", to use the offensive side's own words, there is no
reason for standing on a Cyborg Triops. 

This, naturally, leads to the conclusion that there is no location where
it can be considered appropriate to stand on a cyborg triops - if,
"ethically speaking" it's unacceptable to stand on a triops of any
variety, then the location of standing is not going to change this fact.

Are you seriously suggesting that we are the kind of civilisation that
compartmentalises murder? Strong words, I know, but you're robbing
another innocent lifeform of it's continued existance. To ask for an
ethical position to kill these augmented creatures? I think the
offensive speaker's priorities need to be adjusted!

I lay to rest the against argument - that to stand on a Triops, cyborg
or otherwise, is unacceptable ethically, regardless of location.

Sincerely,

Sir General Engineer Hibbington III esq, Legal Council for Triops
(cyborg and other varieties).
