Presumably then capital punishment, itself an example of intentional homicide, is among these "exceptional" circumstances?
- ggg9990 9y agoNo, I don't think that a jail sentence is morally equivalent to abduction, and I don't think that a DUI is morally equivalent to thievery.
- jMyles 9y agoI... didn't ask those things?
- ggg9990 9y agoTo rephrase... I don't think that the comparison between capital punishment and murder is worth the calories it takes to type, just like a comparison between a speeding ticket and armed robbery.
- acct1771 9y agoIf the person dying is innocent, the end result is the same. Thoughts?
- jMyles 9y agoAlso not what I asked. I'm just pointing clarifying that, in your moral system, capital punishment must be one of the exceptions - it's obviously a form of intentional homicide, so you make an exception, right? Just be careful with handing out such exceptions!
