Well, since it seems most people don't believe in the old "life is sacred" idea, I'd say there is 0 advantage to getting them killed. Keep them in maximum security for life and try to learn from them so we can better understand these types of minds for the sake of identifying and preventing them in the future.
"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."
