Hee! Hee! Well, I was trying to leave my personal opinion of
Ayn Rand out of this, as being even more off topic than usual!

Let's just say that as a biochemist, I have no trouble at all
perceiving distinct differences which are not merely of degree
between taking an hour of someone's life, vs. taking someone's
life. Most ethical systems also perceive differences.
