    gramme, while I fully agree with you on this issue, the difficulty is as detritus so crassly demonstrated: undergirding worldview differences. If one believes that humans are the product of blind chance mutations, then there really are no moral implications to the taking of human life (in any context). We are just matter in motion and will be forgotten by a cold indifferent universe after we're gone. If, however, we are the products of a purposive designer who created us with dignity and with a soul, then it's a whole different issue. We are to respect life and seek to protect it under any circumstances.

    • so life is ethically irrelevant if you're not a believer?!! what sort of an argument is that?

    • A logical one. If there is not an absolute moral standard (the one we all sense internally), then it's all illusoryteleos
    • what is illusory? why are you mixing religious morals with ontology? there's also ethical principles, not necessarily just moral. You said it yourself.
      ********
    • moral values from a religious stand-point.
