Incidentally, though, infanticide was and to some extent still is an entirely widespread practice. You could even say it's essentially ... human, perhaps but for the fact that it occurs throughout the animal kingdom.
Euthanasia is killing. Or murder. All you've done is switched one euphemism for another.
If a thing occurs throughout the animal kingdom, it makes no sense to call it essentially human, unless you wish to express that the animal kingdom is essentially human. Some people do go that far, but I think they're full of shit. Consequently, I think you're full of shit. I am not, however, going to generalize from one to the other.
Categories appear to be difficult for you.
