Is it my choice to decide whether or not someone dies?
If I'm attacked by a big, burly man, and I fear for my life, what would God think about me taking the man's life before he killed me?
If one day I receive news that if I go through with the pregnancy, there is an 80% chance that I will die, do I choose my life or my unborn child's?
One of my favorites and I talked about this today.
We also talked about...
The death penalty. Is it right for a human to make a decision to put another human to death?
Torture. Is it right for humans to torture another human because they think he or she is withholding information that might save a nation?
I know most of these questions are justice issues, and I do have some opinions, but I don't want to bank on my opinions. I want the truth. What does my Bible have to say about this? I'll get back to you.

Just had some interesting conversations on this recently with a few friends - more toward the bent of how our religious views and upbringing, as well as the things we've learned and experienced as an adult, affect how we vote and what political stance we take. I'd be interested in discussing with you sometime. I'm sure there is much I can learn from you, especially since I have a lot of "opinions" but don't always seek out truth.
