Is it disrespectful if it's true? My personal experience is that reading the bible after being raised in a religious environment made me into an atheist, and I personally know a good number of people who went through the same thing.
There is a third option, both.

I'm tired of Russia parading around and desecrating the corpse of the USSR
If I had come about through the unwilling merger of two people, and my death could restore those people, it's probably ethical to kill me to make it happen.

Why don't we just harvest your organs and give them to people we deem more useful, ya know?
