> Imagine if people took a reducetarian attitude toward murder.

Why not? Imagine we are murdering thousands of people every day. We're able to reduce this by say 50%. How is that not an achievement?

Compare it to slavery. What if we are able to have slaves live with more freedom than the status quo? What if we are able to liberate 50% of all slaves? Isn't that commendable?

Again, you step right into the bifurcation (black and white thinking) trap.
