Something may be 'disgusting' you, and that's a useful datapoint, but to say that something is 'disgusting' as if it's an inherent characteristic of the thing pretty much puts a stopper to the conversation. What could be the response "No, it's not"?

OK, I see your point. Agree, phrasing my original post as "using children as means for an end disgusts me equally" would have been better.
