SACA,
I don't think that was the argument made at all. Every human life has innate dignity (because made in the image of God). Careless killing for whatever reason diminishes the killer, defacing the image. Persons who so do impair the dignity of human life or deny it. The persons so killed and their killers are deprived of dignity inherent in them. All humanity suffers. You seem to be treating it as a quantitative argument of some sort. Of course, if there is not inherent human dignity, "there is only power and those afraid to use it." Have a preference?
