My own fits the bill for the latter, I suppose? You've done the same harm to any man you kill. They're equally dead. You may have better or worse reasons to kill and people may have reasons to think better or worse of you for having done it - modification and desert. In either case, however, you're doing the same thing. Killing. The harm that you have done is the same. Even the intent to specific harm was the same. You intended to kill - and did kill.
What would some assertions to there being adifference between them rely on? Your father wants to die, yeah? I think that we can grant that's a big difference to alot of people - the crux of the assisted suicide argument. Well, that's not a subjective factor. That is, at least in the example - objectively true. In a disagreement here, it's unlikely that you and I will bicker over realism. Realism is assumed in the wishes of your father stated as a relevant fact of the matter at hand. Or perhaps that we got the wrong guy. That's different from killing the right guy. That also doesn't seem to be up for debate as a fact in the example. Is the fact of your having intended to kill and killing not the same kind of observation?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
