To me the logical answer is that it depends on how much value is attributed to “a” life vs respect of individual freedom/integrity.
It is fairly reasonable : do no evil, do not instrumentalize people, especially if not involved ; because this is a very slippery slope.
But it is unworkable to enter such a game of value accounting : Whose value system should be used ? Apple-and-orange value ?
My practical answer meets yours : If one is ready to kill the stranger, one should have anticipated this and done something along those lines long ago, like kill a criminal or comatose.
