Default Re: Stem Cells, Iraqi Children, Dogfighting

BT, let me know if I'm understanding you correctly. I hope that I am not.

If A is a random German self proclaimed moralist, B is Hitler circa 1940, and C is the Jewish population of western Europe, you are saying that A has no right to kill B regardless of the gain for C? It is not in self defense, but it is in the defense of others.

Maybe you consider the defense of others ok under whatever rights you arbitrarily think are sufficient, because B has intent to kill.

What if instead of B being Hitler, we have some crazy scientist who is about to accidentally stumble upon an engineered disease that will inevitably wipe out all the Jews (after a year of stomach-cancer like suffering)? Are you saying his assassination is unacceptable?
