The Jackson's Debate is a satirical science fiction novella exploring interspecies ethics through the lens of an alien civilization, the Jacksons, who debate the moral implications of consuming humans. When a nutritional crisis forces the Jacksons to seek alternative food sources, humans, perceived as irrational and self-destructive, become a potential solution. Through philosophical discussions and scientific experiments, the Jacksons grapple with questions of sentience, empathy, and the justification of exploitation. The narrative challenges anthropocentrism while raising unsettling questions about the nature of ethics and the potential for any species to rationalize violence.
