to kill or not to kill? that is the question.

i'm so curious to kno what comes after death that i wouldn't mind it too much if something smashed me flat rite now. should i still do unto others as i would have them do unto me?

This is theory only. If something smashed you dead right now, you may mind it very much. You may not. It seems to me this statement not only makes assumptions, but also doesn't take responsibility. (Not to mention a lack of respect for life other than your own.)

If you were taking responsibility, you would either commit to being here and bear it because you have agreed to it, or end your own life yourself without someone else having to do it for you.

Would you apply the above idea to humans, or just insects? What about a pet? What about every life-form's right to live, their own way? Just because you may desire to end your life, how in the world could this justify killing another?

There is a great Woody Allen movie, Hannah and Her Sisters, where an artist, after flipping through TV channels says, "If Jesus were to come back and see what people are doing in his name, he would never stop throwing up."
