A calf is no more perfect than the wolf that rips it apart and eats it.
There's no reason to assume other people are like you, and that if someone's not, that they're better or worse, broken or holy.

Apples and oranges. I'd wager that most people would agree that there is something fundamentally broken with a calf that rips apart other calves.
Right. To assume people are anything like calves, is incredibly delusional.
Valuing human life for it's own sake is an incredibly recent phenomena, and the jury is still out on whether or not it's a good idea, since we make trade-offs everyday, we just pretend otherwise. (Speed limit on vehicles being the most popular example of this, we could decrease the speed limit and save lives, but it'd inconvenience many people, so we don't.)
