Why is it justified when the government kills people but not when people do so?
Yes, please. How does this relate to the concept of moral justification?
From a moral standpoint, some people might argue that any taking of life is wrong, regardless of who carries it out. However, others might contend that there are certain situations where ending someone's life is justifiable, such as in self-defense or defense of others. In the case of the government, some might argue that they have the moral obligation to protect their citizens, even if it means using lethal force. Of course, these are complex issues that can be debated from a number of different angles. Is there anything else you would like me to find on this topic?
