I should have clarified. By self defense, I meant defense of yourself or another person. I have said this on other posts, but did not make the distinction on the particular post you were responding to. My fault.
So we've stretched the boundary a little more.
Would you regard a battlefield killing in wartime to be immoral? What if I were an artilleryman, lobbing shells in support of infantry defending our borders, but not in direct danger myself? I mean, I'm defending another person -- indeed, I'm helping to defend an entire nation of people. Is that moral, or immoral?
