No compromise with death

Is there a preferable middle ground between sanity and insanity? Is it desirable to consider compromise between peaceful co-existance and genocide? Does it make sense to make a deal that puts you half way between health and fatal illness?

In cases where opposite ends of the spectrum represent life and death, there is no reason to compromise with death. Run, screaming, towards the life and sanity side of the continuum.

Do not accept a ceasefire in the war against insanity, child murder, and planetary suicide.
