I don't think killing can ever be neutral.
So when you pull weeds out of your lawn, you feel malicious?

I'm not saying soldiers feel nothing when they kill, so don't get me wrong. I'm saying there are varying degrees within the word kill, it can be resentful/angry/regretful/remorseful/etc.

If a loved one was going to die a long, slow death and asked you to kill them is that equal to murder? I say no, it's a loving act to end the pain and therefore kill is a better term.
