Arbitrary Turing machines are arbitrary simulated humans. If you want to cut the knot with a 'human' predicate, that's just as undecidable.
There we have more strategies. For example, 'prevent any current human from suffering or creating another human which might then suffer'.
Is there a way to do this perfectly without running into undecidability? Even if you had the method, how would you know when to apply it...
