Moral Question
By wandering druid
I don't know if this has already been discussed, but I would
just like some clarification.
Why is it okay to put a deathly sick dog to sleep and call it "humane"
because you put it out of its misery, but if you did the same thing to
a terminally ill human, it's considered murder?

Because if you start to put a "deathly" sick person asleep it might happen that the next person is no more so sick - do you understand what I mean? So then it might happen that it becomes just a way to get people out your way =)

Own race is more important to keep alive than an animal. Butting one that isnt needed to sleep is humane because than i would be around our streets. And thats what humans dont like. And besides like the bible says: Animals dont have a soul.

What about those to whom the bible means nothing, to whom the pages are like any other book devoid of divinity? Does your argument still stand?

An elderly person is no longer able to work. Does that mean that since they produce nothing, their lives are worthless? Should they not be killed "mercifully" so that they do not place a drain on resources?

Mainly in the end they try to justify it as "right and wrong" when the justification is strickly for the opposers conscience, they want to make themselves look good. It's all for that persons outward apperance and they're personal power ploy.

I also think that many people question others motives just for the hell of it, they get a kick out of making other people feel inferior or question their decisions.

I agree with TheUnluckyOne. People in the world have such a complicated moral code, some people are against the death penelty but then are in agreeance when cops shoot down a suspect.
