If by not a rational argument u mean it's emotional and non-objective then yes! It's not rational! (Although I do have my own personal, subjective 'reasons').
I just think the fact that innocent people can die like that, that that can happen because of the DP is the #1 reason I'm against the DP (my primary reason) - I've given my other reasons. But the point is that that's the primary one.
And my other point is morals are entirely subjective! So the fact I think it's disgusting that innocent people can die like that because of it...I think that's certainly a very strong reason (at least in my eyes) for being against the DP. Yes it's subjective, yes it's just due to my own personal feelings and empathy, my own opinion - but morals are subjective! I personally am against it simply because I care.
