36. I regect your premise.

If you advocate the removing of a person from society permanently, then in your head, you can rationalize that action as "acceptable" because you know in your head that they are actually alive in a jail cell somewhere, getting food+water, and waiting for Natural Death to occur. If that is the case, why can't you accept the death penalty? Why is it that your same brain can't somehow rationalize putting that person to immediate death? Don't you find that odd?

Seems you are saying that, taken to apply more broadly, since we are all going to die, are waiting for natural death to occur, why not just kill everyone now?
