Is rape a more severe crime than murder?

Asked by smack (1217points) November 19th, 2009

on one hand, yes, you’re taking someone’s life – but you’re putting them out of their misery. with rape, you destroy someone – possibly rendering them an empty shell, walking around until old age or a bus takes them away. you take something from them, and it can never be given back. is this more severe than murder?
