Is it moral to kill when a cure options is available?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Great topic. I like the way you framed the question. My preliminary response, off the top of my head, is as follows: A cure, such as you propose would require God to force them to change their heart against their will. As a general rule, the biblical God, offers people the opportunity to repent prior to smiting them. The prophets lay out the choice before both individuals and entire peoples. In other words, you must first recognize that you are sick and agree to take your medicine. Not always, In some instances the condition of some, like the men of Sodom, is so wicked that they have already abundantly confirmed their choice. God does indeed venerate life, not just the physical but the spiritual as well, the physical being a precursor to a spiritual afterlife. God smites the wicked who have already become spiritually dead, even though they remain physically. Once people have confirmed that they will not repent no matter what and are spiritually dead, God removes the wicked so that they cannot continue harming anyone else. Because only God knows the spiritual condition of people, only God can judge and smite. (BTW I just like using the word 'smite' because I don't get to use it that often.)
