Koma anthu ambiri sakhulupirira kwenikweni zimene Baibulo limanena pa nkhani ya pemphero. Mwachitsanzo, munthu wina dzina lake Steve ananena kuti: “Pamene ndinali ndi zaka 17, anzanga atatu anafa pa ngozi.

Ndiye ndinaona kuti palibe chifukwa chopempherera.” Anthu ambiri amene amaona kuti mapemphero awo sanayankhidwe amayamba kuganiza kuti kupemphera n’kosathandiza.
