The constitutional criteria is not whether or not someone can feel pain. It is whether or not they are a PERSON.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." - the Fourteenth Amendment

I wonder if the Senator thinks it would be alright to pass a "law" that allowed someone to put a bullet in the heart of a paraplegic. After all, they wouldn't feel a thing, right?

Would he consider a "law" that allowed someone to kill Grandma if they gave her enough morphine first moral or constitutional? I mean, come on, she won't feel a thing.

Well, we’re living in an age where people on the street want to support “fourth-trimester abortion” (killing newborn infants—imagine that; these monsters are actually thinking of born babies as “potential persons” rather than actual), so anything is possible.

It’s not unconstitutional for a non-state actor to shoot and kill a paraplegic. It’s a violation of a state statute against homicide.
