Um, people? We decide what actions have value as means to an end and those which are gratuitous. Slicing a child's stomach open for fun = happenstance cruel. Doing so to perform a life-saving surgery is quite different. It's usually not that complicated.
So something like killing a baby is ALWAYS wrong?
