Do you find it morally acceptable to kill someone if they are about to kill you?
Upon what moral code do you base this decision?

It is absolutely acceptable. If it's them or me, it's going to be them. Even the animals know and appreciate this ethic.
-
Um, yes either that or they kill you...
-
Kill or be killed. I have just as much right to live as they do and since I have done nothing to deserve a "death sentence", I will not go without one helluva fight.
-
Yeah if your life at risk you have to defend yourself,it's survivel of the fittest i'd have no problem killing someone if the tryied to kill me or any of my freinds or family.
-
Sure. The world is better off with me in it than with someone that is trying to kill me. I also have a moral obligation to provide for my family and I have to be alive to do that.
-
of course. obviouusly, they are a bad person if they are trying to kill you. you would be doing the world a great injustice by letting him/her/it kill you. Much like when spiderman lets the robber get away and it comes back to haunt him. "the only thing nessasary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." plus otherwise they would kill you.

Perhaps I should have explained further, this is no psychopath or anything, they are in the same situation as you, family, emotions, everything. Another human being. The situation is that one of you must kill the other to live.
