Re: Reply to mrmazzo and lestat
Are you saying that the reason you shouldn't be killed is not because you will be denied the opportunity to live out your life but because it will make your mom cry?
How do you vaporize 200 people and they don't suffer? Even if they don't feel the pain of dying (which I assume is what you were getting at), they are denied the possibility of living their happy lives. Kip's definition (which I don't think is satisfactory, but that's another matter) does not say anything about good being the increase of happiness that affects us. He makes it fairly explicit that suffering does not just mean feeling pain, but includes the denial of future pleasure and well-being.
