Morality is what society deems necessary to live by right? Or perhaps it is what we as an individual live by to exist in society. Either way, what we learned to be morals differ from person to person. We could have faith based morals, or morals we learned from our parents, or even the government can instill morals at an early age. Killing is immoral by society's stranded, and therefore immoral by all standards.

I believe if they are making you make a choice between you (or a family member) or them, a life or death choice, then it is completely justifiable to kill them.

In each individual's mind, we almost all see the (eye for eye) rule.
I for one, if a burglar broke in my house, I would absolutely 100% act accordingly. He wouldnt leave my house without 2 broken legs, and a concussion.
Because, if a person knowingly commits a crime i.e. breaking into a house, they should be aware of the consequences if caught. Thus, they deserve the penalty.

In Tx, it is well within legal rights to defend one's self from harm if the perpetrator is on your property.

There is no 3 warning rule, etc.

It is society's view as a whole that murder is wrong, on all cases. But to the individual, sometimes, our own morals step forward.

I would have no hesitation in killing someone that threatened my life.

I only believe that killing is okay if it's in the army/marines (even then it's iffy for me) or if it is in a position of self defense.

If someone is attacking you I completely understand if they attack them back, and if they get killed by accident then that's what they get.

Otherwise, killing is wrong.

I believe that there is no justifiable reason to take someone else's life, no matter what they did. I do not believe that I could ever purposely kill someone. Each life is special. so why can we decide that someone else doesnt deserve it?

Killing can be called lawful, just, sanctioned, and everything else; and in those senses it can be considered right.

"Who are you?" Sophie asked.
She received no response to this either, but felt a momentary
confusion as to whether it was she or her reflection who asked
the question.

When they take a willful action to infringe on the rights of others they cede their own claim to their rights.

Why on earth would you not use deadly force if available to stop a mad person from killing you or your loved ones?  The mad person cares not for the lives of others and you and your loved ones do so you would gladly sacrifice a life that holds closer to the belief system that is less likely to cause more loss of life in the future for one that is self-destructive to what you value?  Madness.

I'm with Elm here, if someone attacked my family or friends, i wouldn't hesitate to use whatever force was necessary to protect them. If that meant i had to kill someone, then they shouldn't of attacked. However, i would only try to kill said attacker if lives were endangered.

So, i suppose i'm saying, i would use the same amount of force that an attacker / thief used on me, or more if it accounted for it.

Killing is okay. We all love Utilitarians so it is at times fine as is child rape.

Man vs nature= Killing anything for survival is fine. (plants)

Man vs man= Only acceptable if an act was brought upon for revenge.

Man vs creature= Only acceptable for when food is limited.
