the problem there TS is this isn't a right/wrong issue like child molestation. everybody except absolute nuts agrees screwing kids is wrong.
before this is a right/wrong issue, there would have to be a consensus on living human/not living human. then you can move on to making the laws, because killing a human has already been accepted as a wrong action. if it is human - it would be a crime. if it isn't - no harm no foul.

Part of the problem with the whole governance issue is that the gov't isn't supposed to do what is popular, but what is right. People keep losing track of that point.

that is like saying the justice system is about right/wrong. it isn't, its about legal/illegal, proveable/nonproveable - ask any lawyer. the government is supposed to follow the will of the people.
