There's a solid difference between a laissez-faire "whatever let's just kill it" attitude you might have with a mosquito, and the morality of, for example, assisted suicide in the cases you just described.

I get what you're getting at but I don't think your example serves to make your point. Keeping people alive against their wishes can be really fucking barbaric, especially in cases of irreparably debilitating brain injuries.

On what basis should it be measured? I'd rather resources be allocated to someone with a potential future ahead of them.

How many humans did I kill after jerking off?

0 but you killed some sex cells.

Really dissappointed at the level of flippant and useless commentary in this thread. HN is inching closer to a tech oriented reddit every day.

I was serious. Mangling these cells packs is the same as jerking off. No human was killed, ever.
