If I break into your home to steal something, and accidentally wake you up, is the only reasonable option for me to shoot you?

  That's a surprisingly fitting analogy, because you don't know if the person you're robbing keeps a gun under their pillow, and you may only have a second to find out.

    Yes, killing them is the "correct" answer if the only thing that motivates you is self-preservation, but it is the worst answer if you consider pesky inconveniences like morality, legality, and basic humanity and decency.

    You're not a thief. You're a murderer. Because it is only a matter of time before that situation occurs.
