Wait I thought I had 3 reasons... the top 2 being the more important ones... thats usually how things go right? you list the most important reasons at the top then work your way down to the less important ones?
In my case
1. get them out of society for good without having to feed them anymore.
2. Repay thier debt to society, a life for a life etc.
you skipped these and focused on the 3rd one, I would hardly they those are irrelevant to the topic. I know I know, you dont want to talk about those reasons because then you cant mouth off about some moral bullshit and then you feel less secure not using ridiculous emotionalism... its ok.
