Note that my specification is that they are choosing to kill with no other lives, including their own, in danger.
War is a contested topic in society, because of the ethical concerns above.
- pmoriarty 7y agoPlenty of military actions resulting in death have been taken when there were no lives in danger. A guard may kill an escaping prisoner even when that prisoner is not in jail for any violent crime and is of no danger to anyone's life. An executioner may kill a prisoner even when that prisoner is of no danger to anyone, as that prisoner may instead be kept in jail for the rest of their life and might have been non-violent to begin with.
