So you DO believe in killing, there just has to be a good reason. You
have even determined what is a good enough reason to take someone elses
life. This sounds like you just don't like the idea of killing for
revenge.

Nope, for abortion if it is the mothers life or the embryo, I think I'd go
for the mother. Kinda a no brainer there. For euthanasia, it's that person
choice when and where their life comes to an end.

Of course I can see your reasoning but it is just that, yours. Speaking
bluntly, the abortion you speak of could be taken as justification for
ending a life. It's okay to kill this baby if... Some would disagree.

I think it is the same for your stance on euthanasia. There are a lot
of people who have cosen to end their life rather than suffer physical
or emotional pain. Should we respect the wishes of anyone who feels
their life is no longer living?

BTW, don't jump to any conclusions about my own views on any of this. I
just wonder at the conviction some people have when they speak on thise
subject.

The problem with the "I believe ..." scenarios is that they tend to
create hard and fast rules. For legal purposes, that's a necessity.
For moral purposes, every case is different.

My rule of thumb: if death alleviates a greater suffering, it's
justifiable. What constitutes a greater suffering is always a
judgment call.

Most of us feel similarly when it comes to terminal illness. I think we
should be able to say when we've had enough.

It seems that when someone starts with conviction, " I believe..." it's
usually followed by something that I don't believe.

Well John, I believe I'll have a drink...
