They're people, not numbers. It may be expensive but what value
   human life? Insurance agents have numbers of course.

   If we go the route of execution, we will eventually get to the
   road of Eugenics and control the genes for producing proper
   humans. It's a dangerous direction... and probably where we'll
   end up. [One of my relatives signed the Declaration of Eugenics
   in 1939; learned that while doing geneology research.. and whlie
   it's logical and productive for society... it may fundamentally
   change who we are.

   Once you start choosing between who is valid and who is invalid
   life... where do you stop choosing? It has no natural ending.

   My world will never exist of course. Death penalties will
   continue, wars and people killing over some kind of righteous
   indignation or "just cause" will continue (it's irrational to
   believe they won't continue at least in some form - we've never
   not had them somewhere in the world).

   Still, I don't have to like it.
