I don't think you can save everyone, but you can definitely decide not to kill someone if you don't want to (when given time to think). There is likely a condition for anyone in which they would kill. It kinda troubles me, but my conditions could probably be met fairly easily. The only way it would bother me at decision time is if the person were innocent, but a "greater good" would be served. I don't think I could kill 1 innocent to save 50.

If you had to kill someone then so be it, but those things are never easy to handle mentally. As has already been said, If you have time to think, you have time for alternatives, but when you are in the heat of the moment, don't be so sure that you won't kill. Having experienced an intense attack, I will tell you, the urge to defend yourself is so overwhelming that if you have the power, don't expect that you won't use it, and that can include killing.
