If you're going to presume to take another person's life, you better be completely sure that you're doing the right thing.

It's easy to take a 100% position when you don't have to actually make any decisions. In practice you can rarely be completely sure of anything.

In complicated areas people do the best they can and we try and have systems in place to lead to the outcomes we want. That's why there's complexity around these things in law and the context is important.
