I come from a society that doesn't value compassion that much, so now when I live in Spain which has a lot of it, it's hard not to feel good about it. Wish it was the same in more places in the world, we're all human after all.
Helping someone avoid "nonrecoverable pain, forever" isn't "cold-blooded murder" in my mind, but I figure there is no point is arguing against someone who doesn't understand nuance.
