If we accept the
responsible condition of humanity as one of caring for the preservation of innocent
creatures, then we have to extend that to the fleshly creature that houses our soul.
If we especially find fault with killing a human creature then we have to ask what
right we have in killing any, even the one that houses our self?


I have yet to find any society, not matter what their religious belief system, that didn't believe in the acceptability of killing other people in some form or another. In war, in execution, in stoning to death, or whatever. What logical basis is there therefore to say that it's okay for a king, or a judge, or a general, or some other outside person to decide the house of a soul should be killed, but it's wrong for the house itself to make that decision?
