Well the Quran talks about the story of man of deep knowledge meeting with Moses, and does some things Moses finds morally wrong, like even kill a boy.
But if anyone takes that as permission they can act for wise reasons for sake of God and kill an innocent boy, they are crazy. That man in the Quran, referred to as Khidr (the Green One), was acting beyond the realms of good and evil known to humans, he was acting on another level.
But we humans cannot act according to his paradigm, because he was directly being commanded by God, just as the Angel of death takes life by God's command and organizes with his helpers the time of a person's leaving this world, this man was similarly an Agent that was above the law.
I think going to a holy book with narrow paradigms, is not helpful to understand a very complex issue of what it means to be human.
