Beyond the technological and ethical issues, off the top of my head, I see no way to raise current human political technology to the same reliability as other systems on such a ship. Revolution, civil war, in-fighting and all the other warts that plague human social systems would likely wreak havoc on its viability. All it takes is one David Koresh, one divisive economic crisis, or a similar issue to doom the entire enterprise. And it's unlikely that such a ship could be made sabotage proof. All it takes is one divisive element, and the ship quickly becomes hostage to whomever is willing to exercise the nuclear option.
