**OT**
LG,
you did not respond to the logic of my argument. You have simply stated your opinion. If there is a cause of mental illness that can be removed, thus resulting in the eradication of mental illness, then the justness of the mental illness defense will have been proven. If someone chooses to murder, then I find it hard to defend that persons right to live. However, I question whether it is a good idea to let the gov't have the right to take someone's life. There just seems too much room for potential abuse. But that is my opinion, and a whole other topic. This is a very conflicted area in my mind, and not as black and white as throw the switch, throw the switch.
If this had happened in TEXAS and one of the daytraders had a right to carry license...no one would
have faulted the individual for taking Barton out
I find the above scenario easier to justify, than the the gov't trying a man, finding him guilty, and then murdering him. Of course, the danger here is, rampant vigilanteeism. |
