Perhaps we agree; and if it's 'right' then it would be in harmony with dharma, whether it be individual or societal, yes? Right!, killing IS sin,(Gita Ivs36) but sometimes a higher principle like dharma, (upholding righteousness) steps in and determines that 'unless' you act you would incur sin, (i.e. standing by and watching evil when you had the ability to stop it)..... In brief, the *reason* for killing greatly agravates or mitagates the karma....yes?
