Would you let Eli in?

[lombano]

What if Eli could not be sustained by blood outside of body? What if no blood bank, no blood donor will ever work. She is a mystical creature, after all. What if only way for her to feed results in death all the time?

Everyone wants happy and easy solution. The real question is what will you do when there isn't any easy or happy solution. Will you help Eli knowing she has to harm others?

Well, with how Hakan gathers blood we know for a fact that Eli doesn't need to take it directly from a human and thus with cooperation she could be fed non-lethally. However, I see no choice but to kill her if she could not be fed non-lethally

QFT. Under these conditions there is no other solution. Except, perhaps, sending her to one of those socially primative, backward countries that still has the death penalty and make her the official method of execution. Wait!! She could join us right here in the good 'ole U.S. of A.

Personally, I like USA. And I especially love Los Angeles. I know. I know. Home of the "Superficial". Hey, I like pretty things.

It is home.

QFT. I like it just fine. But I just renewed my bitching license on election day, and had to try it out.

Interestingly enough, the death penalty in the UK has been rescinded except for, IIRC, 'treason and crimes against the Crown'.

Just a little reminder, I think, that we are 'loyal subjects' here rather than citizens, as we would be in a republic.

[ykeleven]

When was the last time anybody was executed for IIRC ("treason and crimes against the Crown")? That doesn't seem to be a law that gets practiced a lot.

The "royal subjects" certainly tucks at the heart string. God, country and Queen and all.

Indeed, the police and armed forces here swear allegiance to the Crown, not [primarily?] to the people, and I understand that for them it has a certain quasi-religious significance.

I just find it an interesting reservation.

I suspect that I am the only member of this forum who actually swore an oath of allegiance to the Queen (I was happy to be able to do so and have no objections to it at all). I had to recite it aloud in front of a Justice of the Peace or a lawyer (for a certain reason I chose a lawyer) and then sign it.

The last person who was executed for treason in the UK was William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Joyce who was actually an American with a forged British passport. The British Attorney General managed to persuade the court (a decision later affirmed by the House of Lords) that having a forged British nationality does not make one less of a traitor.

Good luck getting that past the 'Yuman Rights' Brigade - not that I agree with the death penalty, unless it can be 100% proved that the person is guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.

BTW, Arson in a naval shipyard is another offence that carries the death penalty here as I recall.

I'm happy to confirm your suspicions are wrong, but I won't be going into details...
