Kill for Bill !!!
We have been having debates in class about how killing can be justified, whether if it is killing a murderer or a saint. To me a murder is a murder, there is nothing that can change that fact and make it more legible with all the facts i can add to justify my act. One life is not greater than the other as we all are created equal. But there always is a dilemma which life lives and dies. What if the definition of good and bad is inversed? What happens then?

AN interesting point ... and immediately I think ... If good and evil are reversed and say murder is a good thing ... would it be also a good thing to let someone kill you?
ReplyDeleteWe'd have fewer overpopulation problems ... but if no one fought back against being killed we'd wipe out our species pretty quickly. It seems to me that a prohibition on 'legalizing' murder is a darwinistic trait at the species level ... otherwise we'd never have gotten as far as we have.
