I'm with rexbecca
Hi Dystopia
What I got was the question is
WHY is it wrong, how can you explain it without
injecting biased language or reasoning that isn't universal to all people.
Why is rape wrong? Is that honestly your question?

Theoretically murder is killing someone else so murder in self-defense is still murder, it fits the description, but it is justified and therefore penalties are excluded. At least this was what I studied in law school, the US may have a different conception of self-defense.
No, we have a different definition of the word murder.
