Think of it what you will, but it's still not ethical what is being done.

Not to derail the thread, but I have a nephew with a genetic disability. That doesn't sentence him to a poor quality of life. In fact, he was in a wheelchair with motor/ muscular twitching in his lower limbs and negligible limb control. Through therapy, and the desire to get better, he is out of the wheelchair and walking on his own. He confided in me once that the worst part of his life was when people treated him as a deformity and not a person. I don't own a spider morph at the moment, but my nephew who is also a breeder of reptiles, and I, are considering a trade very soon and it involves a Spied morph. Can't wait.
