Extract

'And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.' (Genesis 4:8)
Back in those days, murder was pretty clear cut. If you killed someone, it was called murder. Of course, if you had areason, then it was justifiable. Back then, it was an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Or a life for a life. But in these fast paced and politically correct times, is there justifiable murder?
Webster's Dictionary says that murder is 'the unlawful killing of another human being, especially with premeditated malice.' Unlawful killing of another human being. And most people would tend to agree, that there are circumstances in which killing someone else is just fine, and even desirable. But what are those circumstances? What exactly is justifiable killing? Is abortion OK? How about war? Euthanasia? These are topics that are in hot controversy these days, as civil rights groups battlepolitical
standings that have been around for dozens of years.
