also heres a qustion, maybe you know the answer. i dont isnt it a crime for someone to kill another, even if they asked them to kill them? also is it illegal to kill yourself? |
These are valid questions. I was aware that you didn't make the war argument, Sapphi did, and i merely felt it was an apt analogy because it is hard to dispute the necessity of war, and yet acknowledge that it is evil and should be limited, much like abortions should be limited, though the calculus in limiting abortions really comes down to better education and availability of contraceptives. We should be minimizing unwanted pregnancies, and working to make sure that the decision to even commence bringing a life into the world and even putting the woman in that position is the woman's choice, and a choice made responsibly
Killing yourself is only in extremely rare situations a responsible one, which is why it should be illegal, except, i may argue, in clear cases of terminal, or mortally debilitating disease, or in very odd cases like a spy captured behind enemy lines offing himself to prevent intel from being leaked. And similar moral foundations would apply to assisted suicide, that your doctor can off you with your very clear consent only in cases of mortally debilitating (think Terri Schiavo) or clearly terminal illness, instances where we can medically say that there is no point to continuing to live (e.g. you'll suffer in the time it would take you to die, your family would suffer indirectly watching you suffer, and someone would have to foot the bill for you suffering through to an inevitable death)
