The question creates a paradox. Just because people don't die, that doesn't bring them peace. What about the family members of those 63 people? Will life be peaceful for them? What about your own life? Could it be peaceful knowing that you killed 63 people?
Create world peace by helping people, not by killing them. Even if I got theoretical assurences like, "Yes, their familiy members would live a peaceful life," I still wouldnt' do it.
It all reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode, where a guy gets a box or something, and if he opens it he gets a ton of money. The catch is that the person who gave him the box will kill someone. "Don't worry," the box-giver says, "It will be someone you don't even know." So the guy takes the money, and the box-giver comes back to pick up the box and lets him know that he'll be taking to offer to someone else next. "Someone you don't even know."
I could envision that happening in this scenario. Enough people receive and accept this proposition that every human on Earth winds up getting killed. Hence, peace.
No, Gandhi had it right. Killing is no solution.
