    The argument I’ve made is that I don’t wish to personally suffer psychological damage because of somebody’s death. We don’t allow others to inflict harm in other ways, and this is in my opinion no different. It has nothing to do with tyranny.

      No, you’ve demanded other people restrict themselves so that you are spared the ‘chance’ of “personally suffer psychological damage because of somebody’s death”.

      Pretending your demands have no consequence on others isn’t a valid defense. It’s pure selfishness expressed as tyranny.

        What an absolutely absurd position you’ve chosen to take on this. I can only hope for the sake of compassion that this is not what you actually believe.

          "Forces others to do their bidding and draws on ‘compassion’ to justify it. "

          Narcissism defined folks.

            You’re quoting yourself. I never said any such thing and you’ve completely misrepresented my position.
