Is this meant to counterclaim that some immigrants hold weapons? If so, I still don't think we should gun them indiscriminately. I especially don't think we should call gunning them indiscriminately 'humane.'

Yes, I'm Catholic.

I wouldn't say that protecting your border is murder.

That wordplay, man.

I wouldn't say that women having the right to choose over their body is murder.

There's nothing merciful or compassionate about shooting unarmed people. It is not humane.

you're going to have to specifically point out you don't do anything AI generated

Lol, why? Tools are meant to be used. There's nothing wrong with AI aided design.

You're running away form making an argument, but you keep replying. How was what I said not an analogy?

People have already told you why

Nobody has. You argue but refuse to make an argument?

There is correspondence. It's a valid analogy. Why don't you tell me what's wrong with it, if you're so persistent?

My analogy did have a correspondence with the previous post:

Shooting immigrants on sight to stop them the inhumane suffering of dying while trying to cross illegally is like killing the unborn to free them from all inhumane future sufferings.

It's the same logic of justifying murder out of "concern" for the victim.

The first definition was correct. The rest was stupid. Your dictionary sucks.

triage may require you to allow people to die

That's doing your best to save as many lives as you can without shooting anyone. It's not the same as murder.

if you believe the solution to the trolly problem is to actively change tracks

Nobody would kidnap a bunch of people and engineer that trolly scenario with "ethics experiments" goals in mind. It'd just be a game for his amusement/ego trip. It'd be just about sadism, regardless of how he justifies it. Such a person is going to continue to play with the survivors until he tortures and rapes the last one to death. Everyone in the tracks and the person at the button is going to die. The solution to any actual trolly problem that could exist in real life is not to engage with the sadism of whoever put everyone in that situation by playing along. Every death will be on the lunatic, not you.

No, It doesn't. Everyone has done evil in their lives. We're not demons. Demons aren't wicked humans. Demons are a different creature.

I didn't say flesh makes something a person either. I don't call animals people.

As far as I can understand, you interpret it as a 'the ends justify the means'

I'm just against calling murder humane.

That's like defending abortion as humane because it avoids all the child's future sufferings.
