I never agree to blanket moral commandments like these. Morality is contextual - different principles are applicable in different situations. In some cases it may be immoral to take a life, in others it may be the most moral thing to do.

Hmm, perhaps if I change this up a little. Most of the time it is immoral to take a life. The only times it would be moral is when another life is being threatened. Minimize the harm done. I know a lot of people could disagree with this too. War and such. Abortion. But these are all cases where another life could be said to be threatened. Anyways, getting into all the specifics with this is dangerous ground so I won't go any further.
