This person did seem to pull the “woe is me” threads in her text messages to other colleagues, apparently seeking out sympathy.
Also, if they’ve got nothing but sick kids, then a death or near death is the next step up to garner sympathy because the status quo is sick kids.
This may be a good guess to why she might have done it.
If you don’t have much of a maternal instinct, crying babies are pretty annoying.
But for the majority of us who don’t like kids, we just ignore it or if in charge of said infant, try to settle them rather than murder them.
My bad, I made an assumption based on the earlier stance in the thread of this woman getting the death penalty.
It’s not this specific case that suggests why killing prisoners is wrong, but others where it’s not so cut and dry…
A man was recently pardoned after years in prison for a crime he did not commit - he was on a whole life sentence.
If killing someone for their crimes becomes legal, this man may have been killed for a crime he didn’t commit and would never have seen a free day again.
By maintaing the system currently in place where we don’t kill prisoners, there is the opportunities for miscarriages of justice to be somewhat rectified.
Can’t bring a man back from the dead, but we can give him a million pounds for the false imprisonment and his freedom for the rest of his days.
It’s worth noting that we’ve also ruined many fruits through breeding and generic engineering so that they have a massively increased amount of sugar. They won’t be as ‘healthy’ as wild varieties, but hot damn do they taste good.
In Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.
People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.
