Killing someone in self-defence is totally different from killing someone for a laugh (for instance). Although I do agree there shouldn't really be a distinction (from an ethical point of view) between the state and the individual in the sense some give it.

yes, that probably was a simplification. To say it in other words: a human live is something valuable, so you dont end it. If a state or governemnt or society or whatever you want to call it ends human lives, no matter what reason, they become less valuable.
(and, yes, locking pople up in small rooms is also bad, but you need to do something...)
