No, it is not a sin against nature. Every living thing
on this earth will die, with many of those deaths
being far more violent and grisly than an execution.
An individual does not have a right to learn. An
individual only has a chance to try to learn. If an
individual loses that chance through her own violent
proclivities and disrepect of others, then that
individual has herself to blame.
