If that were so, you wouldn't have majorities supporting the right to eu[good]thanasia[death] for people suffering terminally painful illnesses. But why should what "most people think" be a standard of good or evil? Do *you* think the world today would be a better place to live in if death had been abolished (even if only for humans) a few thousand years ago?
