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.
