I say we spare the people who have overdue library books. So I wonder where we should draw that line? Jeff....any idea of the volume we should target? 100? 1000? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000?
The ones who refuse treatment? The ones who offend, even after treatment? Do we even try to treat them? You are an engineer. What spec do we follow?

How about we spare the most innocent of all who don’t yet have the ability to speak for themselves. You’re looking for criteria to spare those who potentially commit crimes and can seek help. Does it seem reasonable to execute those for the crime of not yet being born? I won’t apologize for bringing this up. Who to kill is the topic being discussed. To ignore a huge segment of humanity in the discussion seems disingenuous. Perhaps uncomfortable, but disingenuous.
