In other words: For superheroes, is a human fetus lower than a criminal?
Are people that are people "lower" than things which are not people?
You tell me, is cutting someone's head off morally distinct from cutting someone's hair?
I'm curious how far the superhero rules are consistent
What the hell are "superhero rules"? To my understanding they don't all belong to a binding faith or set of laws. I thought the whole 'thing' of superheros was their being vigilantes and deciding on their own morals.
