Is it moral to split water into H2 and O2 via electrolysis?

Do you guys think it is moral and ethical to split water into it's base components via electrolysis?

Lol eithics only apply to living things, and so far I dont see water living, breathing, eating, or drinking (canibal inception o.O). and to the guy who said splitting water would make H2 and O: O2 is the elemental name of Oxygen just like Ozone is O3 and carbon dioxide is CO2

I feel bad for the guy who post this. May I suggest reading a paper I wrote about this 4 years ago.

Lol. It is kind of cool how on a computer game website we are all havin a debate about science. Anyway thanks for the laughs guys!

Groan this is the everything else section where people talk about other things.

I made this thread as a joke, people. A satire about people complaining about ethics / morals.
Also, to the person(s) who said this has nothing to do with Minecraft...
It's called Everything Else for a reason.

how about splitting up some H2O2
1
Not really sure, although there probably is some idiot out there who would oppose it
1
Of course it is its just a simple Chemical process what does morality even have to so with it?
1
This is a bit of a weird thread to be honest, lets debate something more controversial

Wrong Website!

Oh and water is H2O so when it is split it is H2 and O. Not H2 and O2.

See now technically you're right... IF you were only splitting a single molecule of water. As it is; oxygen bonds to other oxygen molecules and will only travel with some other molecule covalently bonded to it. In real life it's impossible to just split a single molecule of anything without some stupidly high-tech stuff, so the oxygen bonds with other oxygen and you generally get one mole of H2 and .5 moles of O2.

Yes it is completely ethical. Safety on the other hand is a problem because splitting water is very UNsafe!
By the way, what does this have to do with minecraft?

I...I... I don't even get the question....
Like CC says; it creates a perfectly clean energy source who's only by-product is more clean water... Ethics doesn't really apply when talking about electrolysis, unless (of course) you're planning on using to use electrolysis to split up a person...

PS that person thing was a joke, and isn't possible to my knowledge.

There is no real Ethical or Moral argument behind this. Now Cloning and Animal testing, theres something controversial, both of which i support

Saltash: splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen is how you make fuel-grade hydrogen, the cleanest type of energy next to solar and wind.
Burning the hydrogen creates... water as a by-product.
In fact, nature does this ALL THE TIME. Which is why I boggle at even considering the ethics of it. In fact, I go beyond boggling... I FACEPALM AT IT.

Well, I'm no scientist, I thought my argument was valid, Guess I was wrong.

^Serious Saltash is serious :3

I would say no, water is the most natural, pure, and to be frank, needed thing on this earth, splitting up its base components wouldn't do much except male a cool science experiment.
1
Only if the molecules are the same sex, obviously.

No they love each other spiting them up is wrong!

MORAL??
... are you asking if it's ETHICAL to use science on WATER MOLECULES? REALLY??
