I already said that the primary problem, from society's point of view, would be abuse, for example, in order to preserve an inheritance.

I questioned this earlier and did not see a response from you. If there is abuse, society deals with the abuse. In this case, the murderer does time. People are murdered now for an inheritance. We prosecute them. Why would this be any different? You could kill a race car driver by sabotaging his car. We don't ban automobile races; we prosecute the murderer.

you do not abet death, since it represents the negation of the person......

Are you say that we negate a person only when we kill him but do not negate him when we deny him his humanity by making him a slave, experimenting on him without his consent, subjecting him to gross indignities, or refusing to respect his wishes regarding the relief of his suffering, for example?
