A killer snuffs out the life of another being.

Depending upon the identity of the killer, of the killed, and of the witnesses, the act of killing may, or may not, constitute a crime. For example, a lumberjack might think nothing of killing a tree; the state would agree with him so long as the tree was his to kill and as long as any consequent taxes were paid; a druid would agree with neither opinion and would, at a minimum, see any gratuitousness on the part of the lumberjack as a crime.

Nevertheless, most individuals do not even conceive of those working in forestry or agriculture as being killers. Indeed many individuals fail to conceive of themselves as killers when dealing with vermin. And what about medical researchers experimenting on animals? To say nothing of mad scientists obsessed with stealing the fire of the gods and creating life . . . . Did Dr. Victor Mordenheim think of himself as a killer when he decided to shut off the laboratory pump that was keeping the brain of Rudolph von Aubrecker alive?


It is ingenuous to deal the ethical question raised by that decision by of that decision by ma

The destruction of the undead is not killinPerhaps only in Necropolois would it be seriously suggested that the destruction of the undead is killing. For to survive the grave is not to come back to life and it presupposes that life has been snuffed out already.
