I presented this argument on the challenge list, using Susan Smith as my
example.  That is, since people believe that both of her kids are now in
heaven, didn't she do them a big favor (while sacrificing her own soul in
the process - what a mom!)  As you might expect, the only responses I got
from Lenny and Jerry were that we have no right to take another's life, and
I was a horrible mom to even think of such things.  Maybe you'll do better.
