I think you are a decent person and I imagine if you had thought they were people you would never have donated them to be experimented on and later destroyed. For the 4th time, I do not think you deserve life imprisonment.
As for why I keep bringing society into this, it's because I'm talking about personal culpability. Which plays a huge role in whether or not I think a person is deserving of going to jail, which was the question you were asking me. If you can't understand that in the way I have already explained it, then I don't know what else to tell you. We may just have to leave it as is and move on.

Never mind.
