One of bots's posts in the poacher thread made me ask myself this question.
And I'm not sure of my answer tbh. Hoping your opinions help me clarify my thinking. Is human life sacred or not? Edit: Sorreh, it seems I didn't say it well enough. Slow thinking day and all that. I meant is human life so important that it should not be taken at any circumstances. 2nd edit: Looks like ****ed up this question. Clarification: I don't mean anything to do with religion.

Yes it is.
However I'd also qualify that with all life should be. So for me, anyone who will wilfully destroy life, clearly doesn't hold life sacred. There's no easy answer overall but I respect life, all life, which is also the greater part of why I became a vegetarian. For me, life should not just be about Human life. |

In metaphorical terms yes. Obviously not literally, as I don't believe in good / evil / gods / souls etc.

Didn't ask if it's important but if it is sacred. I suppose I asked if it was important enough not be taken in any circumstances, i.e. sacred

i think my answer is a given, and I don't mean it in a religious sense either as I'm not religious

I don’t think it’s a yes or no answer for instance I believe in right to die if someone is of a sound state of mind to make that decision and they are not being coerced, I also believe in Do not resuscitate in certain circumstances, and whilst I dont agree with the death penalty per se in certain cases I would say they should die

I don't think I do. I don't believe we are more important than all other living organisms out there... including trees. I believe in the validity of euthanasia. I don't like war nor would I be a soldier, but historically defence is needed from other human life. And I don't believe in souls.

I believe we all have life for a reason , whether it be human , animals etc ,just because something isn't human does not mean it's life is not as important we are not always better than anything else on the planet, and we have made a good job of destroying a lot of it,so I answered no .
