Murder = Act of aggression.
Killing an assailant with a knife = self defense.
So your ethics just changed...but you said they wouldn't.

What constitutes self defense? If in our little village there is enough food for everyone to have 1 baby, and someone wants to have tons of babies causing all the babies in the town to starve, is killing that one baby murder?

This situation happens around the world every day. Saying it doesn't is just ignorance.

Looks like ethics CAN change. Like they have in this case. Rest assured that I've read every post that you've written so you can stop writing that I haven't in an attempt to make me seem less informed. I'm very informed.
