A consistent ethic for life. I am in no way suggesting that a******n is not a horror when I say that capital punishment and war are equally horrors. If we are to be for life, we need to be consistent. Yet depending on how we base this consistent ethic, relying on some philosophy or committee regulation, we will miss the necessary essence of the topic and add to the problem.
Life is or isn't worth protection in all circumstances. If it is not, than it is useless, arbitrary.
Capital Punishment and War are certainly horrible but have not yet been considered the same as having lunch or going shopping or "she lost the baby"
