Genocide must at some point make the people seem less than human. — hachit

Indeed. People become food for the fires.

On self defence and suicide. I have no problem with killing.

I do not think all killing is wrong.
Neither did Jesus' and his most trusted disciple, Judas. He, like me, would assist a friend to suicide.

In law, I do not believe in the death penalty. A nation cannot be seen as venerating life by taking it.

Have you ever seen They Shoot Horses don't they?

Would you pull that trigger?
