Why is your morality based on ability to defend yourself? A captured psychokiller being killed by injection is *worse* than a harmless innocent Grandma who has a shotgun and died in a fair gunfight during a home invasion? What kind of shite is that?

If I have the capacity to spare your life with the means to care for your health while maintaining your life in solitude, then I will do that.
Reasons I will kill you:
1. Lack of resources.
2. I consider it better for you. (Coup de grace.)
3. You pose a real, tangible threat to the rest of us.
Our prisons are sufficient in keeping murderers at bay. Sure, some escape, but the vast majority remain behind bars for years and years.
If I don't have to kill you while you cannot actively defend yourself, then why should I? Economically it's cheaper to keep you alive, sadistically living your life behind bars is worse than dying quickly and of course, my favorite, I get to keep my moral high ground. :3
