so we should allow basic HR and dignity to be applied - regardless of the inherrently evil nature of a person?
Being a human being does not equate to being afforded liberties automatically, upon only of reason that one is 'a human being'.
One has to act, behave in a way that is relative. I totally disagree with you.
That is equivalent to stating that a domestic pet, say for example a dog, a violent dog with a history of appalling behaviour, of attacking others - should not be put down. Such a dog is also a living thing but I bet you'd agree that it would be put down if it's behaviour was of such a repeated nature.
It lives and breathes. Same as a human being. Being human does not mean that human rights should automatically apply. If such a human being cannot afford another any HR or dignity: they should not expect to automatically be afforded the same respect or consideration.
That's my view and I don't expect you to concur.
