You never know what a person is capable of and if you discriminate against them to the point where they choose suicide, you never know how history may have been forever changed. Who KNOWS what Alan Turing would have been capable of without the inhumanity demonstrated against him?
Who knows what the people might have been capable of who are tormented to death because they are different ? What could they have been? What might they have added to our society?Think about all the teen-agers who have been bullied to death? So much possibility, so much waste. Their deaths are tragedies not only for them and their families, but also for us. Our short-sighted inhumanity short changes the world. So, if simple compassion isn't enough to stop bullying and discrimination, think about the self-interest of human society.
You never know, the person you just were cruel to might have cured your cancer someday.
