Something that might feel wrong to you might feel good for someone else.

Is it right for a serial killer to kill humans because they get enjoyment out of it?

    Well, not in my opinion. But there is probably some serial killers that do think that they are right in doing so.

    Should we allow serial killers to kill other humans for fun even if they think they are right in doing so?

    Absolutely not. And I'm quite happy that we live in a society where the vast majority of people agree that they shouldn't.

    Well, the broad consensus allows society to adopt laws and actually enforce them, which is really cutting down on murders being committed. So that's good for anyone that is living in a society.

    Also I personally don't get the appeal of murdering people, so I don't feel a need to accommodate people that do. Feels detrimental to myself.

    What if broad consensus changes and we allow murdering, like The Purge?

    So murder to you is good or not because of the law? If there was no law, you'd be fine murdering people?

    This is lemmy ... and if there were no consequences I'd probably murder a billionaire or two. But yeah, it's not a power I should think should be granted to the general population. I'd probably abuse it after a while ...

    What if someone were to use that power and kill you?
