@luthis

I mean...;

Benjamin Schreiber was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 1996, after clubbing a man to death with the handle of a pickaxe and leaving his body outside a trailer. Schreiber had conspired with the man’s girlfriend to murder him.

He took away someone else's body and life first.

Thats the problem with just laws and rights. They have to apply to everyone, even those we feel don't deserve it, otherwise they ain't just.

Laws and rights did apply to him.

Except they didn't if he signed a "do not resuscitate" and they did it anyways.

Are you saying we shouldn't try to be better than him?
