is this wrong

RE: is this wrong
You seem to be inclined to the belief that the universe should, rather than does, have an intrinsic level of fairness and justice. It doesn't, it can only have these properties if we apply them to it.

If that person who's dying decides to commit a suicide bombing, then they'll be dead, and the living will remember them for a short while as a pestilence and a disgrace, and then forget them.
If a foetus is aborted, and dies, then that is the end of it. If it survives (which has happened, incidentally, and he is today considered a person), then it's still a human being by virtue of having the attributes of a human being.
When the human race dies, perhaps we'll become objects of curiosity for another race that might come after us. We might be the Forerunners of the Halo series

It's unwise to be saddened by facts when one can do nothing to change them. Even more unwise to fabricate something more comfortable.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
