Hugo Adam Bedau states that “most of us believe that it is not morally wrong and may even be our moral duty to use violence to prevent aggression” (738.) I firmly agree with this concept. In the case of self defense I would use violence against the individual causing harm to me. Would I go the extent of killing the person who was trying to kill me? The answer to that statement is: I do not know. Honestly, I would try every option available to me before killing the individual, but at the end of the day… whatever happens will happen. In the heat of the moment anything could occur. Bedau mentions, the statement “a life for life” (741.) This got me to thinking about how dumbfounded and idiotic that phrase is. I know Bedau would agree with me on
