They didn't just want their "loved ones" killed but brutalized, raped, tortured. I cannot understand this. The guy who wanted his wife dead says that he's the victim because he's in prison and his wife is free. He's suing to be able to see his daughter. I cannot comprehend this. This is such unlimited selfishness.

We are all selfish to some extent, but to be so totally concerned with what you want that you are willing, eager, to kill another human being, is just inexcusable. The lawyers say their clients have mental problems. Sure they do, and they need to be locked up so they won't harm someone else who gets in their way. The guy who wanted his wife killed was so cold. He had no comprehension that she had any right to live. She wouldn't give him what he wanted, so he felt that he was the victim and had the right to kill his wife.

This just sends shudders through me. In many ways this is a reflection of other forms of selfishness in society. Children who want their parents to die so they won't waste the money the children feel should come to them, on non-essentials like medical services. Women who have abortions because it's inconvenient to have a child, and the men who pay for an abortion because they can't be bothered. Unfortunately these are legal and, especially abortion, are in the millions. I really do think this is hardening people and justifying selfishness and disregard of how wonderful life is and how terrible it is when it's cut short.
