You're not an "other" until you survive being born, and you stop being an "other" once you're brain dead.

A doctor can't turn off a ventilator unless the patient is declared brain dead, and shooting him won't bring the patient back to life. And even if it did stop people from smoking, shooting of a tobacco company CEO is flat out discriminatory -- shouldn't ALL the owners, employees and stockholders of a tobacco company be legitimate targets, too? To save people from smoking tobacco, tell them it's potentially fatal while working to get off the market.
