“How different is it when soldiers are at war? They must kill or be killed.”
I think there is an important distinction between “kill or die” and “kill or be killed.” The wolf’s life may be at stake, but the rabbit clearly isn’t attacking the wolf. If I need a heart transplant, I would still not be justified in killing someone to obtain the organ.
