That is not to say one has to take the moral high ground whenever there is a case which threatens another life or your own life. If it is one to one the defender always has the moral high ground. And you can go from there. This could also be taken to the lines of "suffering" as it is only the base case being described.(April 23, 2012 at 8:44 pm)BrotherMagnet Wrote: Could it be morally inherent to say that to end a life which is aware of existence is morally wrong?
I would not say that. It's not immoral to kill in defense of self or others. Regrettable perhaps, but not immoral.
