Well HUMAN life SEEMS sacred to US, because we're human. We identify and empathize with humans, so we feel human life is special. We're not objective about it, and how could we be? If we were sentient cats we would think feline life was sacred. If we were sentient cows we would feel bovine life was sacred. But we're human, so we treasure human life.
That's all, it's only our perspective. There is no such thing as 'sacred' outside of the human mind.

Lose someone that you love, a parent, a child and ask yourself, "Was that life sacred?" Am I less for having lost that person or more because they were in my life for a period of time.

Sacred? That word implies an entire gnostic belief system I don't buy into.
Life is. It's an accident, albeit a fortunate one. Enjoy it while you can, but don't worry too much about pissing off the ...
No, that's right. Not for me to tell you what to do.

Of course it is. Why do you think there are so many murder mysteries on TV and CSI is doing so well?
