This is in response to Sophie's statement that she has a different
ethical system as regards the killing of human beings.

If you posit that you have the right to kill a human being, please
go one step further.  If you can decide when it is OK to kill a
human being, why can I not decide that it is OK to kill you? 
Moreover, what effort do you expect society to make to protect you
from my attempt to kill you?  Do you feel that you have the right
to call on the police to protect you?  If so, why?

While Sophie made the original statement to which I am replying,
please consider this a question to all interested persons in this
newsgroup.

Have a Good Day,
