I don't think it take a lot of imagination to understand that at least in portions of a DarkWorker's evolution, ethical structures are actually obstacles to their ends.

I think that a lot of people get too hung up on this idea of morality and ethics (keeping in mind that these are ultimately subjective concepts anyway). Individuals, who are too concerned with right and wrong, often fail to see that there is a big difference between immorality and amorality. They seem to think that being “good” is all that matters and that not being good = being bad. In my mind, right and wrong are abstract concepts, created by human idealists and all that really matters is doing what works (keeping in mind that anything which is ultimately self destructive, doesn’t work).
My motto is “practicality over principle”. If you live by this, than you should be OK regardless of what “evil” you might do. Of course, if Steve’s Metaphor about the body and cells is true, that that would mean that my standards of practicality might be flawed. This leads to a whole other set of debatable issues; but it is a debate about what is practical and should not be concerned with what is ethical or moral.
