cyKey said:But the rape victim still feels the pain and the dead person is free from any more pain. I'd say they are equally as bad crimes after thinking about it. Loss of life is tragic but at least they don't have to live with their pain. Rape is tragic and they have to live with their pain but they might be lucky to be alive. I think we could go round in circles for a long time. Safe to say they are both devistating crimes.
They are both terrible, but I do think there is a great difference in the fact that a rape victim has the chance and indeed the choice to move on and get on with their life, whereas a dead person has no further opportunity for anything.
100% of dead people never enjoy anything again.
