vurbil, I think we must be twins separated at birth. I could have written your answers to this moral/ethical question!
A fourth question is at an Arboretum. I asked if I could take a seed from the ground or a cutting from a rare shrub. They were horrified I even asked and the answer was no. I offered to take multiple cuttings and give them all the extras if they grew, the answer was still no. I never did it but it sure got me thinking about the ethics of it all.
