I definitely agree that there are fates worse than death. Is it suicide to stand up and defy an injustice knowing it means almost sure death to you? If so, that would be a form of choice to die that I would endorse. If you stand by these statements, then you and I are coming from the same place. We may disagree in the particulars of certain scenarios and how we might implement the two premises above, but we both recognize that there are worse things than death and that it can be OK to choose death. What I was objecting to was your hyperbolic statement that I WANTED TO KILL LAME CHILDREN. That sounds like I would snatch children born with club feet from their cribs and toss them in the gas chamber. That's ugly. All I was doing was expressing my versions of potential implementations of the above two premises. Just as you would be thoughtful about how to implement them, so would I. I realize that you don't trust that I would be thoughtful, but I would. You may not agree with the particulars of my determinations, but there is no basis for making outlandish projections regarding my potential implementations given we are in agreement on the basic premises.
