Murder is Wrong No Matter the Circumstances

Lauren asked an interesting question over whether it would still be bad to kill people if it meant preventing potential murders of innocent people in the future. As aways, I have to respond that no matter the circumstances, murder is morally wrong. No one has the right to play "God". Humans being equal on this ground cannot decide the fate of others. While it is true that in some situations, the killing of another can be justified, but the morally of the act does not alter.

Q: If someone kills another in self defense, should they still receive punishment for their actions?
