do you support, or at least accept the premise, that you can be in the morally "correct" position and still "need" to kill someone? For example: you could kill someone in self defense, or in the defense of someone else who is imminently in danger of being killed by someone else.
Self defense against an instigator, yes, absolutely. But purposely killing an innocent person, a very young person at that, no.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
