Please explain what you think "the law" is and where do you think it comes from?
Common Law is the basis of Civil Law.
Common Law is a compilation of social norms and traditions from various towns and cities.

Please explain how you decide who should live and who should die.Sure, you don't kill people with your own hands.Please explain how you decide who SHOULD live and who SHOULD die.For example,You could probably save the lives of many starving children if you devoted your energy and resources to feeding some starving children.Are you indirectly killing those children by not devoting your energy and resources to feeding some starving children?
If all of the towns and cities had the same laws (based on the holy scriptures) why was it such a difficult task to compile them into a uniform code?Did each town and city perhaps have their own unique interpretation of what was generally considered appropriate?
If I did not do any of these things - I still would not be indirectly killing people.
Do you believe that people who support medical privacy (for every human being on the planet earth) ARE "indirectly killing people"?
And why would a health fund be killing people directly or indirectly?
And why would a health fund be killing people directly or indirectly?A health fund indirectly kills anyone they "could have" helped but didn't help.
I don't think that public monies ought to be ever used for things I disagree with, like WAR.
But if you are asking whether I take the view that paying taxes is tantamount to paying for people to be killed
So no more taxes then - at all.

So no more taxes then - at all.Perhaps the amount of your tax could stay the same no matter what, but you could check off a list of things you DON'T want "your money" to be used for.For example, if you don't want to pay for prisons, then perhaps more of "your money" would be allocated for education or something else.
But if you are asking whether I take the view that paying taxes is tantamount to paying for people to be killedThe argument is basically, (iff) you give money to a charity (or a government), (and) that charity gives money to poor people in a poor country (and) those poor people in a poor country give aid to people with guns who don't like foreigners with guns telling them what to do ("terrorists"), (then) you're a de facto terrorist.
Allocating it for something else - is simply mirrors and shadows.
Do you believe that people who support medical privacy (for every human being on the planet earth) ARE "indirectly killing people"?I honestly still do not know what you are talking about? Please explain.Medical Privacy.Privacy of medical records.Doctor to patient confidentiality.Do you support Medical Privacy (philosophically) in principle?
I also think that the logic you draw from a person giving money for charitable and good faith reasons to becoming a de-facto terrorist is flawed.
I do agree with medical records being private - and with doctor to patient confidentiality. I think mostly that medical privacy is a good thing. There are somethings that are none of anyone else's business.
Allocating it for something else - is simply mirrors and shadows.Ok, so why did you suggest you didn't think "your tax dollars" should help pay for feminine healthcare?
because I don't think it is my responsibility personally to provide this healthcare for individuals.
because I don't think it is my responsibility personally to provide this healthcare for individuals.Do you realize that your tax dollars are used to pay for emergency room care for homeless people?
My point is that this IS not the responsibility of the government,
