I want to know what other people's opinions are on the topic of
Virtual Reality and its ethics. Is it really necessary to create this
'virtual' world and who will look after it? Shouldn't we be more
concerned with the present reality than creating another 'reality' for
us to mind?  Should there be censorship?

I am not opposing the idea of having a virtual world, but there are
issues we have to look at before we actually get down and boogie with
it.

Okay, okay, I'm doing an essay on this topic and I really need some help
in sorting myself out on what I'm going to write about, I would really
appreciate some feedback.

THANKS!
