(By Kelsi Sheren) – First off, yes—homicide means the killing of a human being, whether lawful or unlawful. That’s not some tricky wordplay; it’s the legal and factual definition.
It includes murder, but it also includes justifiable killings, self-defense, and yes, even MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying). Pretending that pointing out a correct definition is some kind of intellectual deception is laughable.
The truth doesn’t become a “manipulative language game” just because it makes you uncomfortable. Pro death members claim that using “homicide” is an appeal to emotion. No, it’s an appeal to reality. The law classifies MAiD as a form of homicide—full stop. CONTINUE
