@Mr_NutterButter Generation Ships might be worse, unless it's big enough to support an entire biosphere that can somewhat replicate life on Earth. Generations of people will be born in that ship and live their entire lives in a box flying through space where their only purpose is to maintain the ship so that their distant descendants will colonize a far away planet.
With frozen embryos, nobody is born until the ship arrives to the planet. Those children will be raised and be taught by a robot, but at least they will have an entire planet to roam around and subsequent generations will be raised with parents just like normal children. I think the only issue is if the planet turns out not to be habitable and all the children die from radiation poisoning.
But, this goes back to my point. People NEED to put ethics aside. Any new frontier WILL include some pretty nasty deaths. Most people died on the Mayflower. A lot of people died on the Oregon Trail. If we sent a bunch of people to build a base on Mars and they all died from radiation poisoning or something like that, yeah it sucks, but it's the price we pay and we then learn from those mistakes.
I think ethics should only matter if it involves the rest of the human population or the environment, instead of worrying about a few select subjects.

@Mr_NutterButter Would Frozen Embryo Space Colonization be considered "unethical" then.
Can this guy bring charliebrownau with him if other flat-earthers refused his offer to go with him?
@ArdainianRight @beardalaxy @helldiverliberator It's a masterpiece compared to what CN has now.
@djsumdog I think it has more to do with AI.
@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator I never saw the problem with it. I actually kind of liked it back then, but I didn't actively watched it. TV was just background noise for me while I was doing something else. People accuse it of being a Dexter's Lab rip-off, but with the roles reversed, but the creator openly said that he had the idea back in 1995 (a year before Dexter aired).
People tend to look at Season 1 fondly, but hate the rest of the show. That's partially because the show's production was moved from an American studio to a Canadian studio and they had to deal with Canada's strict broadcasting regulations. They also changed from hand-drawn animation to Adobe Flash which caused silted animation. To compromise, they used the infamous whip crack sound effects to mask the snapping between poses.
The show's creator, Scott Fellows has done a lot of successful shows like Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, and even a few episodes of the Fairly Odd Parents, but his cartoon is one of the most hated and it's not really his fault. It's just that Canadian animation studios suck.
@helldiverliberator And everyone thought that Johnny Test was the worst that CN had to offer.
@vix Actually we have been born early enough to see us land on the moon because we haven't done it for real yet.
