If one blinds a man, he shall not be blinded, but to act as the eyes
of the blinded man. Following the blind wherever he goes, and helping
him to see with his own eyes. If one breaks a man's hand, he shall not
be broken, but to act as the hands of the broken man. If one takes a
man's life, he shall not be taken life, but to act as the man who once
was alive. To do the things that the man would do if he was alive.
