who or what should be protected because "life is sacred"?
what are the lines you draw? protect people--ok so what about war or the death penalty? protect animals-ok so what about eating meat? protect the enviorment-there are so many areas of gray-how do you draw the line? when does it become about you your desires and not the sanctity of life? or is just a rationalization people use?
if ALL life was sacred we would not have fly swatters or hamburgers.

You're absolutely right. Life is life as it is. Things are what they are. Millions of years of evolution can't be wrong.

that is a awesome question. but with everything else in life that is a matter of personal opinion. in my opinion while i do eat meat i don't think it is right to kill animals just because or out of spite. war, personally i don't like....but have had friends that have defended my freedom and our country so for that i am grateful. i do believe in the death penalty if the person that is on death row is guilty of killing someone else why should they get to live? i don't believe in giving my tax dollars to criminals to live in a "jail" that sometimes is much better than the life they would ever have on the outside. can you tell i'm very opinionted on this? i agree that life is sacred...but we all see life different ways so we will also see what is sacred in different ways also.

You've got it. It's all about power. My sister decided my dad's little life wasn't worth much and he might as well be drugged into a stupor and tied to a chair in a nursing home. Dad's life had no value because my sister had the power to say it didn't
