How can anyone say it isn't? A tree is just a plant. It's not like they're cutting off someone's head to draw blood. I hear all kinds of emotion in what you're saying, but do you fret over the death of millions of Christmas trees every year? If this method ever becomes economically feasible, those who harvest the "traditional" way will be able to charge a higher price, just like those who stick the "organic" label on their bottle.
