Take one life and a thousand others are saved. Is this morally right? Do we have the power or say to follow out this action? When is this circumstance justified? In the news recently an abortion doctor was killed in his Church (oh the irony) this particular doctor did abortions that consisted of doing it after the time frame in which most states see it as taking a life. Lawfully the doctor was in the right but in some religions the assassin's actions would be justified as him saving thousands of others lives. Who is in the wrong? Depends on your interpretation of wrong. In the law's eyes it was the assassin in the wrong but in religious eyes it would be the doctor who would actually be the monster. A very tough subject to touch but this country was built upon escaping religious prosecution and persecution, because a man doesn't believe in a certain religion doesn't mean he should be punished by that religion's actions taken when disobeyed. This is the land of the free which does have its boundaries this is why we decided to have the laws in which we have and for the country and people to decide what is wrong and what is right and not a certain individual hell bent on justice.
