we prosecute people for murdering humans.

gotta draw the line somewhere.

all living beings have souls. how do we know human souls are worth more than animal or plant souls? we dont have the capacity to measure the value of a soul. so why shouldnt people be arrested for killing roaches or cutting down trees?

the moment you bring soul into the convo, you are bringing in personal opinions that vary widely and a very slippery slope. the law dont work that way.
