Why? They are pretty much the only two intentional, non-self-defense killings of other people legally allowed within in the United States. They share a lot of common elements, and are really almost identical. It is killing permitted for someone else's motivating factors. It is a third party stepping in and saying "for reasons I/we deem appropriate, you do not deserve to live". At its root, I don't see much difference between the two.
You're assuming that others agree with your definition of "people".
