I dislike how an absolutist trend has started on these boards... I can now say there is absolutely nothing wrong with killing everybody I can, and nobody can say im wrong on so many levels... its ridiculous, i don't care if its appeal to absurdity. As speaking humans who know how to use computers we know killing is morally wrong, no matter what that means.
I think that's the point of the vid, though. The killer is trying to force the professor to reverse his position when faced with the consequences of the line he touts. It's all well and good for these people to justify murder with biology until it's they that are being threatened. Then they try to appeal to some higher morality that, until that point, they had been trying to prove did not exist.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
