Now for those who still say that killing cannot be justified, Place yourself in Mr. Harvey's shoes. If a stranger rushed at you with a knife, Putting yourself and your family in danger, Would you still say that killing this man is wrong, Would you try do the right thing and talk it out*sarcastic*? Or would you pull the trigger?
considering it's just a knife, and he is charging me with it, I would hit the guy with the butt of the gun. 2.5 ft reach vs 5-10 in knife.. Who do you thinks going to win? No need to kill.

Because you have to be sensitive about the death subject...

Mr. Harvey is your average working class man. He lives in a small house with his wife and children. One night he hears noises coming from the living room. He grabs his shotgun and proceeds to search for the source of the noise. Upon entering the living room he sees a man wielding a knife. Mr. Harvey yells a warning at the intruder, Who then rushes towards Mr. Harvey. Mr. Harvey fires off two shots and kills the intruder.

One real brain teaser is a situation in which you see a train heading towards two innocent people. If you do nothing, the train will hit the two people and surely kill them. Your only option is to flip a switch which will redirect the course of the train. If you do flip the switch, the train will surely hit and kill one innocent person. You are a conductor working for the railroad line. What do you do?
