To kill someone of larger mass than someone of lesser mass? Like, a giant vs a midget? Because, you know, you're killing more cells or something, or killing more of something?

Re: Hypothetically speaking, is it more wrong...
I don't know the answer, but I have always wanted to punt a midget.
I'd say it is more wrong to kill anyone of higher intellect. as for cells, any body cells besides brain cells are about as valuable as those of vegetation, and you kill that shit just by existing, so, no. not really any more wrong.
There are some interesting theories out there (and I say theories because they do have some evidence to back them up) that indicate that other organs and parts of the body contain more to do with our mind than we suspect (memories, other forms of influence).

Re: Hypothetically speaking, is it more wrong...
the amount of life is technically greater, but it's only 1 stream of life. just like there's a shit ton of videos being streamed on youtube, some are longer and some are shorter, some have more content and some are utter crap, but each one is only 1 video. sometimes there are video series which are the equivalent of a rich person raising their child in a mental image of themselves and giving them the same name but with a roman numeral after it.

That doesn't answer the question at all.

to simply put it; there's only so much magic in Magic Balls. beyond that it doesn't count.
1 life, 1 data stream. doesn't matter if you get b/s or MB/s it's still just 1 data stream making one file animated. so no difference.

Re: Hypothetically speaking, is it more wrong...
The physical form I hold to be of equal value to its mass so a more massive victim would have more physical death. That karmic payout, for the sake of argument, I think would be more based on the deeds you prevented that person from performing. The past is past and death does not change that; it is a form of closure that can actually be meaningless in karmic terms. The future, I think, would be were the karma is invested. Did you murder a person whose actions would have been creative or destructive? The act of destruction itself need not be unmitigated and the corpse can be given a creative purpose.
I guess we'll have to test this and document the results.

Re: Hypothetically speaking, is it more wrong...
In the field, the observations show otherwise.
You'd get more trouble in prison for murdering a child than if you murdered a landwhale.
Technically, murder is murder in legal standards - but the perception of the deed by others tends to tip the balance of consequences.
Who knows, maybe they'll outlaw gross obesity and you'll actually get a pat on the back and a cash reward. Perceptions, and all.

So like fat people deposit? I am not looking forward to seeing lardass recycling bins dumpsters next to the glass and paper bins every Thor's day.

But, you typically have to pay out less in a wrongful death lawsuit for a child than for an adult. That's not based on mass though, the calculations that go into how much any given person is worth is more extensive and usually based more on education, work background, income and "potential".
Then again, legality does not make reality, and thus while ideally the civil law corresponds to higher moral orders, it does not in all instances.

Re: Hypothetically speaking, is it more wrong...
So accidental versus intentional death affect the results. Interesting.

Yes, along with degrees of each or reasonable predictability of outcome or neglect in the matter.
