Where is the difference in your logic. In both scenarios someone had to die for you to live. How do you know that some poor rat bastard sold his life to feed his kids, wife and/or family? He may be of sound state of mind but not have any alternative. How do you safe guard against that???!

I understand your desire for self determination but will never agree with the extent you are taking it to.
