So...cocaine is for healing people?
And heroin?
Cocaine
is used to heal...
sometimes. Heroin used to be used medicinally...as a cure for cocaine addiction.
Sodium Pentothal is used for anesthesia induction...or for executions by lethal injection.
Your whole formula of
${x} is for ${y} is deeply flawed.
Things simply don't have some nice black-and-while single inherent purpose, subject to your personal judgement as either "good" or "bad".
And I'm still waiting for an answer: do you accept the use of deadly force for self-defense? Because if you don't, and you believe killing is
always wrong, this dialogue is pointless.
