(Despite whether you can afford it or not.)Again I don't think people would look at it like Oh drat killed my son eh? Ah well, whatever it happens! I just don't think it would be quite the same.Look at our own world, and the difference betwen how people view a murderer and say, a theif.The theif might have taken everything you have, and left you pretty much unable to recover, but when was the last time you heard people arguing in favor of a death penalty for thievery? It's a crime yes, and veiwed seriously yes, but not to the degree of murder.I'm thinking a similar thing might happen in a world where murder wasn't always permanent. It's similar to how I feel that murder in a race that was technically imortal would probably carry a greater taboo then even in our own world.</blockquote>
