[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I though all you people believed that life should be fair... Shouldn't then, a just punishment always be as equal as possible to the crime committed? That's the fairest way of looking at it... You rob someone, they get title to your property. You defraud someone of 6000 dollars, you owe them that back plus 6000. You break somebody's arm, you get yours broken. You rape someone... well, they do that to you in prison, anyway. You beat somebody to death, you suffer the same fate It's ugly, but it's fair. Since when does death = life? As to the abortion issue.. I don't really think the issues are all that separate. I mean, they're both issues about when it should be considered legal, ethical, and moral to kill someone. I'm in favor of the 'right to die,' in curcumstances where the dying person has willingly and clearheadedly given up their 'right' to live. This is an act intentionaly committed with clear knowledge and acceptance of the consequences. The death penalty also deals with the consequences of acts that were willfully done. When you willfully commit yourself to a course of action whose consequences include death, you know what you're getting into at the start. In the abortion issue, however, the person doing the dying has absolutely no say in the matter, isn't even guilty of harming anyone, but can still die at the whim of another? And you stand there and have that gall to tell me that that's MORE moral? [/QB][/QUOTE]
