The discussion was ACTUALLY about why is it wrong to kill. Not why I don't like killing, or why am I not comfortable with abortion- by why is it wrong to kill? Aside from it being merely prohibited by society under certain circumstances.

So if the law and the majority of people in our society thought it was ok to kill people of a specific ethnic group, or with certain political ideas you would not have a problem with that? What if the law (or court decision or proposition boted directly by the people) was that it was ok to kill you. Would you not feel that that was wrong? (beyond just the thought that you don't want to die)

If you do feel that way is your belief about this limited to killing, or do you believe anything is ok as long as the law and/or a majority of people in a country or other social unit think it is ok?
