Best Answer

Because it is the taking of someone elses life.

Deep down it is stealing, you are stealing who they are, who they will be, everything they have or ever will have.

Stealing a father or mother from their children, a son or daughter from their parents, a wife or husband from their mate, and any good they may do in their life from those who need it. While murder is a natural crime (something everyone inherently knows is wrong), it is a criminal offense because the legislature has codified it as a such.
