Edgar, We're all going to die - it's how we live our life up to that point (there is no 'after' death, or indeed any such thing as 'death' to feel bad about being killed anyway). Yes, I'd rather be killed than be the killer. A killer will never know peace.

OK, let's put it to the test. I'll send someone over to kill you and then I'll feel bad about it. Will you opt out because of your life or me feeling bad about it? Get real!
