That's a sickening question. We all have a reason for being here .
Some people have it tougher than others and at 14 there is no way anyone could predict what the next 60 years or so hold for jimmy .
People often write others off far too quickly.

"What if one of Jimmys crime was murder would your opinions still say the same?"
Yup.

Utilitarianism. Bentham and Mills. I really don't think a morally repugnant outcome can ever be justified where choice is involved. I am afraid that Spock was misguided. |
