Question: who or what can be held accountable for moral injustices?
Answer: I contend along with contemporary society that the perpetrators of a moral injustice are to be held accountable. I would also add that we can only hold another thing responsible if we know that thing can reflect on the sentience of other creatures. So essentially, we can only hold other normal humans responsible, that is to say humans free from mental defects that prevent them from thinking about the sentience of those that they commit injustices against. I am not suggesting that we do not take any action against said people with mental defects. If a person is unable to reflect on the sentience of another person and kills that person, I think we can justly prevent that person from killing someone else.
