I'll speak to you in the philosophical view.
NO! NO! NO! NO! IT IS UNETHICAL, IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL!
Basically it goes like this. Everyone has the right to live. And did you know that we are only stewards of our lives. WE DON'T OWN OUR OR OTHERS' LIVES. This is why it makes it illegal.
Next. Killing creates sin. This makes it immoral.
Lastly, if you think killing is the best way to solve the problem, your wrong. This makes it unethical.
Now, if you are thinking of homicide, it is not unethical nor immoral, but illegal. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
This can only be considered as an indifferent act because you didn't intend it to happen. But, in legality, you still killed somebody, making it illegal.
Now, another thing that would decrease the graveness of the killing is (1) the good intention, (2) how immediate is the killing and (3) if it is your last resort. It goes like this: A girl was hostaged. The robber counted 1, 2, 3. You have a gun. Before the robber reached 3, you shoot him. You shoot him because (1) you want to save the girl, (2) there is only little time to think, and (3) it is your last resort since you can no longer call for help. The girl might die all of a sudden and you would be bothered by your conscience. These conditions make it ethical and legal.

It is never right to take an INNOCENT human life - your own or anyone else's.
One may, if necessary, use deadly force against an unjust aggressor. (There is a legitimate right to self-defense.) Even then, the intention should be the defense of the innocent rather than the taking of a human life.

It depends on whose ethics that you're asking... I think it's okay, if you want world peace. Since humans can't seem to go without some kind of conflict, their extinction would be the best solution to create world peace. It would also eliminate any future chances of war.

Yes:
If another person tries to take your life, you have the right of self preservation and if need be, killing the attacker.
If someone in society is so sick as to pray on others, and shows no remorse or desire to stop, then like a sick animal, should be put down. I'm talking serial killers/serial rapists here.

Nature creates death because something has to die in order for something else to live, whether its plant animal or vegetable. We all have to eat something that was once alive.
That's the rule of our planet. Animal life is not sacret, plant life is not sacred and human life is not sacred.
Who said it was? God?
Well then why did God create all the catastrophe's in the Bible?
All the so called moralists are a bit skewed. I think if a person wants to die we should let 'em.
Sorry if I've offended you but that's the way I feel.

No never. Every human has a right to life no matter what they've said or done in the past.

Since you cannot give life to any one,you have no rights to take away any one's life,it may be of human,animals or birds. It is a basic Hindu philosophy.

God is who gives life ,god is who takes life , that is because of we have no right to take any human life even ourselves . even if someone who has a serious illness with severe pain and there is no cure for it . we can not take his / her life because that called murder , all we can do in this case is pray for them and give them hope and some Analgesics for be able to possibility the pain . There is no justification for take a human life . god is who gives life , god is who takes life.
thanks for yahoo
