I didn't want to dive down away from murder, because then I'll have to pick my "line". I'm not prepared to do that for various reasons. For example, I don't know the punishments for the crime you mentioned.

Murder is the "easiest" crime to use to make my arguments. And even then I have to specify stuff like "intentional without a damn good reason".

Every case is nuanced. You can’t say murder == life without screwing something up in the system. It’s not simple or trivial to solve.

Luckily many places around the world solve it differently so we can look at those systems and observe.
