Are Orcs totally and uterly corrupt? Tolkein says that they are twisted and corrupt, but does he ever say that they are totally evil. Because maybe they can raise children, I dont see exactly why they couldn't. Morgoth was pretty much as evil as they get and he raised Carchroth didn't he?

Also they could raise children because they see it as a means to an end: more orcs therefore a bigger army. They could see making love as pretty much the same thing.
