But if no one died due to starvation, we wouldn’t be having any disagreement as to whether or not it’s okay to steal a loaf of bread to save one’s starving family.
You are still wrong. Imagine that starvation leaves you very weak, in constant pain, but alive. It is OK to steal a loaf of bread to feed your children? Let me also remind you that in Christian Hell no one dies :-/
The human existence does not revolve around death.
Sure, I’ll concede that in the edge case that we figure out how to prevent death, and have not in the process, figured out how to eliminate hunger pains (or if Christian Hell exists) then you’re 100% right.
Either way though, stylistically that was a poor choice of opening sentences on my part. It doesn’t add anything to the piece, and it’s too easy to dispute it, thus distracting from the overall point.
