Would it be moral to kill all the Cylons?

Jimmy Akin has an interesting post up about the morality of the humans on Battlestar Galactica wiping out the Cylons. He essentially argues that it would be moral only if you can prove that the entire race is made up of aggressors since we should give them the benefit of the doubt as to whether or not they have rational souls. I tend to disagree on that last point. I'm by now means an expert on the show, never having seen an episode until a few weeks ago and am not nearly as nerdy as some people are about the show, so I can't offer a firm opinion one way or the other, but given that they're essentially robots I fail to understand how they could have souls. So count me on the side of those who would commit the "xenocide."

Count me in, too. At least until we see what is supposed to be the background "canon" due out in 2007 (in comicbook form).
