With what living thing?"Taking it a step further. If you would kill a fly, would you also kill a bird, would you then kill a cat, then a dog then horse,..etc.etc.
At what point does your conscience or internal moral code kick in?
What is the real difference if you kill any one of these? You have
taken a life and have no idea why it was created for earth.
Only a person with little or no conscience would assume the arrogrant
role of the right to kill something.
I know there will be a lot of, "flies should be killed, ants should be killed,
they have no right to live...I don't propose to argue these points just
raise this as something to think about.

Would you kill a terrorist knowing that he/she was willing and ready to kill thousands of people?
