Ridiculous definition of murder. Classic libertarian thought bending over backwards to reduce everything to property rights. Please cite a legal text where the definition of murder invokes scarce property.

No. I don't expect to find it, but that doesn't make it less true. That's how I make sense of the difference between IP and real property.

If current law isn’t based on what you claim it’s based on then that does make it less true.

I don't care about current law, there are lots of dumb laws. I care about what's right and why.

But the law against murder isn’t a dumb law even though it doesn’t refer to someone’s body being scarce property.

It’s right for the law to address and prevent the arbitrary, and that’s about more than just property. See #1345.
