So I'd be really curious to hear everyones take on this question of ethics...

Why is it wrong to kill someone?

I think we can all agree it is wrong (at least most of the time). But why, what about the act makes it wrong?

If the answer is suffering then is it right if it is done without causing suffering? Even if it is against someones will?

I have my own answer to this question but I really want to hear everyone else's.

@freemo It's wrong to kill only because of subjective belief. Obviously there's a vast sea of murderers, tactical policemen, politicians, soldiers, etc. who believe that killing to get or keep whatever it is they want to get or keep is justified, maybe even "right."
Personally, I share the belief that we all have an inherent right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
