The value of a human life (and why abortion, economics, pulling the plug and triage)

[Violet]

Sorry i meant "gave a value as equivalent as "right to live""

Ah... well in that case: how is that 'not okay'? It certainly seems a simple enough philosophy.

1. breaking the law = crime.

In the land where law mandates we wear red (Read: Soviet Russia :dpdgy: )... wearing blue is breaking the law, and therefore wearing blue is a crime.

In the Klingon Empire, killing is not against the law, and therefore murder is not a crime.

Defined as so... 'crime' really doesn't say all that much about the action(s)... and it is a very subjective word that always requires context.

2. Murder is a crime, but it is has some conditions where it can be committed, like self-defense.

Following the former conclusion... firstly: is not... and secondly: so what? And now onto the subject of conditions... if murder is defined as killing a person with intent and without (perceived?) necessitation (assuming you are defining it thusly?)... then every other situation that does not include every single one of these (ie: killing a person, killing a person with intent (but with perceived necessitation), killing a pig with intent and without perceived necessitation (assuming it is not a person), killing a person without perceived necessitation (but also without intent)) is not murder to begin with. Under such use of law... one can never commit a crime and suffer no consequences (assuming they were identified and 'caught' by the law-giving body).
