Exactly, an unborn child hasn't killed anyone unlawfully or commited any crime. And the law says that EVERYONE needs to have a fair hearing and due process.
where is the "fair hearing" for the mother of that child ? if that child is going to ruin that mothers life, are you saying its better that the child is still born ? that child could be born to a mother that can barely provide for herself let alone a new born child. thats not fair on anyone, the mother, the father, the child and even the tax payer. That child could lead to the death of that mother during birth, are you telling me its better to bring that baby into the world without a mother ? is it better for that mother to die rather than the child ?
Murderers have already had due process and a hearing.
yeah.. the law system isnt corrupt in any way. sure everyone gets a fair hearing... ummm yeah! of course. forgot about the wonders of the infallible justice system *rolls eyes*
ever heard of people lying in court ??
Your comparing a little spank on the butt of your child to murdering someone?
i am comparing the principals, the idea that you can tell someone to not do something and then turn around and do the same thing to someone else.. even worse that very same person you have told it is sooo wrong.
i was simply putting your logic into a scenario that you might be able to understand from personal experience. not many people have the first hand experience with murders, i was simply putting forth your logic in a more "down to earth" problem.
Killing a person who is a mass murderer that is a danger to other people is a totally different story.
a person is a person. no matter what they have done, might do, colour, age and sex. That murder is still a human being, a Homo sapien... they still do all the same things as you, they read newspapers, eat dinner, lunch and they even still have to use the bathroom. That person still deserves the same amount of respect you give your boss, girlfriend/wife/husband, your children and any other person you pass on the street.
And in reality we all have mental problems in some ways; depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, paranoia, etc.
if someone was take away from society at birth, treated with the up most respect and not harmed or mistreated in any way but was told every day that it is perfectly ok to kill someone on a bus, if they were told that its the right thing to do, ok ? then they where send into a city and got on a bus and killed someone, would it be wrong ? as far as they know its perfectly normal. should they be treated like any other murderer ?
So lets say you keep a murderer alive. He escapes prison or gets out on "good compliance" and then proceeds to go out and kill 3-4 more people a few months later. So by keeping him alive 3-4 more have been killed. Lets say he dosen't get out of prison, but proceeds to kill 3-4 inmates who did lesser crimes. So in the end more people end up murdered and dead by keeping the 1st degree murderer alive.
do you not think a better solution to this problem... and i admit it is a very big problem. would be not to kill them but take steps to improve the justice system ? its not only murders that pass though it... you can't sentence someone to death that was involved in a robbery, they could get out and do it all over again. everyone hates being robbed just as much as they hate being killed. same goes for the rapists, arsonists and every other person that is in jail. it would kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
What if, what if. What is it finds the cure for cancer? It dosen't matter.
life is full of what ifs. its the way of the world. life is not black and white. its not even different shades of gray... its a whole rainbow of colours. The human race is so diverse that everyone can't be separated into two teams. life doesn't work like that. the what ifs do matter. thats what makes the world a nice place to live in. its what makes it a less dangerous place to be. what ifs are what pushes the human race forward. what if we landed on the moon, what if i could link two computers together that are other sides of the world. the what ifs can't be ignored. if they are, life would come to a complete stand still. they need to be acknowledged and thought about, processed with the same care as the certainties.
