Suppose I have a dog. It's not a very well-trained dog, and it protects my house, but sometimes it bites me. I want to make the dog obey me all the time, so I take it to a vet, and the vet tells me that it can put the dog to sleep for me. I say, but that's not what I want -- I want to make the dog to what I want it to, not kill it. The vet says, don't you see? If you can kill the dog, how are you not in control of it?
