Why is killing for convenience wrong. If I provide an answer then you could ask why is that wrong. In the end it comes down to your beliefs. I would say that deliberately killing a person without justification is wrong because it is. In a sense it is an axiom for me. From there we can argue about what might justify killing, and what actions might constitute killing, and what things could be considered a person and I might be able to give you my "why", for those questions, but you have to start with some axioms or you can never reach any logical conclusions. Apparently the axioms that you accept are different from the one's I accept. Tim
