You're making my point. Since you (and hopefully others) would suffer emotionally should you kill me, then the conditions are not met.
Mine is a relativist philosophy of the value of life. The value only obtains in relationship to others. Absent any such relationship(s) the timing of the end of that life is of no consequence.
Consequently, I recommend that you move out of your mom's basement and make some friends.
Per Twain: "When a child turns 12, he should be kept in a barrel and fed through the bung hole, until he reaches 16at which time you plug the bung hole"
That is nonsense. No person has any value other than through its relationships with others. A fetus unwanted that will not be missed has no value.
The only damage done by anyone's death is measured by the loss of those left behind. The dead person has no regrets, and suffers no loss by his death.
And do not raise the specter of the pain of dying, for that only argues in favor of an improved process.
Example: A solitary person living in the wilderness struck from behind by a space rock that obliterates his head in an instant, suffers no pain, no regret, and leaves neither behind for anyone else. There is no loss to anyone.
Argue if you must that the mother must suffer from the decision, but that only means that the mother is the only one that should decide.
That is just stupid. It is a lot like saying everyone who has ever picked up a soda can and turned it in for a nickle qualifies as having a job. A 'job' in any rational economic sense is a work for pay opportunity that is open ended in duration. A single plant construction is an event, and represents temporary work.

7 came in first, with 1 coming up fast at the end to make it a race. 5 and 8 were neck and neck, with 8 taking third by a nose.
I suggest "Dark Shadows" as the underlying cause
And I have a $30M proposal for a shadow detector...
There seems to be an understanding and knowledge barrier. Your facts are incorrect from your second sentence. After that was not worth reading

Learning Fortran is trivial - 45 years ago it was a requirement for my MBA. Read the manual, wrote the required application, done in an afternoon.
Making it run 10000 times faster? not so simple...

What if the nuclear power generator ignites Saturn and creates a new star? Oh, the humanity....
If the previous probability was 0.00000000001%, then a 'many thousands of percent increase' is perfectly sensible.
With just a little heat, and cell phone destruction is their best application?
I think you are missing the obvious market
How you got to this concept from my statement is a reflection of your simplistic analysis

You clearly did not parse my statement thoroughly. Infliction of pain is not acceptable, as the recipient clearly suffers as a result.
