Discussion on facts or opinion
1. It is highly problematic to just your opinion as people have different opinions on the same matters. Moral debate is practical and debatable what to do and value the things that matter to us also concern our values. The killing of innocent life is not a correct thing and the person has no right to kill any person and termed it as just an opinion. The opinion does take place where the person’s life is not hampered here the person is murdered. If any person is harmed then the culprit cannot run away and say that it is just my opinion. The opinion is there until no one is harmed. If anyone is harmed then the culprit will get the punishment and here the opinion did not matter.
2. If the person is jumping from the rooftop and says that it is gravity from scientific fact then it is considered to be wrong. If the person is jumping from the rooftop then it is considered to be life-threatening and will harm the person. If anything will harm the person then this doesn’t matter about the opinion that whether it is scientific fact or gravity. The jumping of the person will not consider gravity in the opinion. The opinion matters until it is not life-threatening and harms anyone. All the problems will not be considered scientific facts.
