For me, it is both YES and No, It is ethical in a way that you save one’s life whether you kill someone or not. It is better to kill someone who cause suffering to others than to see someone who suffers from those kind of person. And I do believe that if somebody died or if somebody was killed, it is their fate that brings them to it; it is the end of their life line. And even though they already gone, only the body was died, but their soul reaches their perfection (it is according to the Philosophy of man of Plato).

For Plato the body is material and the soul is immaterial. The body cannot live and move apart from the soul but the soul can exist apart from the body. So when the body was gone, the soul reaches their perfection, So there's nothing wrong if you save others by killing, that person is destined to die, you're just became an instrument of his/her fate. So it is ethical.

But, it is also not ethical in a way that “we don’t have any license to take somebody’s lives.” Only God have those rights to take one person’s life in order to save others who deserves to live more. No one has the right to kill others, and besides there’s another way to save lives.


-- how about you? it is ethical or not??
