Good, because in your initial post, you appeared to not understand there was a difference.

Of course, just like I can see the reason a thief would have to murder the witness. It doesn't change the outcome: someone is dead, someone who may NOT have wanted to be dead.
I find it extremely ironic that all the people that are willing to commit murder, not knowing for sure that the person wants to die, yet the same folks argue against the death penalty because an innocent person may be executed.

I find it ironic that somebody who has actually said he would kill a trespasser on his property would not kill somebody who has a terminal disease. But, that is off topic.

Actually, yes I have seen "somebody." It still didn't bring murderous thoughts up in my mind. NAh. I'm just not a murderer.

OK. Sorry for your loss. How would you have reacted if they had *asked* you to kill them. For the record, although I don't know (as I stated in a previous post), I probably wouldn't.

Think: What is the reason for you murdering that person? Because you feel sorry for yourself to SEE that person like that, or because you think that person would want to die? Or perhaps it is because YOU would want to die if you were in a situation like that? Can you be 100% confident when you take it upon yourself to sentence that person to death?

And that is the crux of the matter. Well put..
