We believe killing is wrong because it ends a persons life, it ends a persons ability to live, and will more than likely inflict them great pain, or prevent them from having positive experiences.By what standard do we say an experience is 'positive'? Or even painful? There are plenty of people out there, whether they be whiny about it or not, who would argue that death may in itself be a positive experience. Not believers, mind you, but people who believe death would be preferable to living. What say you to them, Bonaparte?
