.................A society in which a person can be killed because some other person feels they were in the wrong (or that it would be good for others) is not a society that serves the greatest good for all (chiefly, because anyone could become that person). It is a state in which the mechanism of government can be used to bully, silence, and ultimately exterminate - even engaged in honestly and sincerely this apparatus will still make mistakes. The society that prevents this killing eliminates this potentiality, while allowing us to remedy the situation presented in other ways, such as by removing people from the gp -incarceration-. The argument from utilitarianism is that killing does not raise net utility. The whole "killing is allowed in utilitarianism" is an objection raised by detractors.
