摘要:The question why killing people is usually wrong is distinct from the question why death is usually bad for the one who dies, but most people assume that the reason that killing is wrong is closely connected with the badness of death for the victim. In this article I will offer an account of the badness of death and then argue that wrongness of killing cannot be adequately explained by reference to the badness of death for the victim. I will conclude by offering some reflections on death in war and the justification for killing in war
