I don't want to start off y disagreeing with a basically
good philosphy here, but not everyone gets old. Many people
die young.

As for compassion, it is one of the characteristics that
partially seperates humans from animals. To not have
compassion is to be an animal, not human.

To continue on this theme, are sock puppets human? If an
"internet character" dies, does he/she go to Heaven if he's
been good?
