Murder is wrong.

1. Your argument regarding the morality of killing a mosquito is irrelevant. The idea of something being wrong is a human social construct. I'll build upon this later as it pertains to my argument. And "technically" we have medical definitions of what qualifies someone as dead; they don't match what you have said. While our body may contain dead cells and what not the rest of us is very much alive. 2 and 4. The worth of someone or their contribution to the universe is grounds for their death. Nor can you, or anyone, accurately judge the worth of anything in the universe. Our perspective is too limited. One exercise in considering the potential worth is by considering the butterfly effect and how small things can have huge effects on the future. The worth of humanity cannot be accurately weighed in the present so it is incorrect to attribute somethings immediate contribution in justifying whether or not they get to live. 3. The concept of hope is uniquely human. Humans aren't hopeless because hope exists because we exist. Nothing else in the universe, that we know of, has hope because they aren't capable of it. The fact that you and others realize the errors and shortcomings of humanity and feel strongly enough to want to do something about it exist proves that humans are not hopeless. My argument has to do with what I said earlier about social constructs. There really is no right or wrong in the universe everything tends to go about its business regardless of moral implications. If a meteorite were to strike earth and kill a pedophile it didn't do it because it was the RIGHT thing to do. The universe has no opinion and is far removed from the concepts surrounding this debate therefore we must consider the opinions that are involved with such concepts of right and wrong. You cannot simply dismiss the opinions of society because humanity is the only group with any say in this matter. Until animals or whatever gain the ability to log into this site and contribute to the discussion none of them really have a say in the matter of what is right and wrong. Right and wrong are inventions of an organized society and as long as we live in that society we are subject to its rules concerning what is right and wrong. Killing a mosquito is acceptable because society has deemed it a socially acceptable behavior. Furthermore, we have many different organized societies within humanity which may have different rules concerning right and wrong. These rules may even excuse the killing of another human under certain circumstances like during war. But those exceptions don't count as murder. The very definition of murder is: the unlawful killing of another individual. By definition murder is wrong in every societal construct of humanity that uses English as its primary language. The Universe is neutral in regard to this argument. Society has decided that murder, the unlawful killing of an individual, is inherently wrong. Murder is wrong, the only known sentient beings in the entire universe has collectively decided it so. I also want to point out that SIN is a very religious concept and you should avoid its use if you want to keep this discussion free of religious arguments
