TycoonYes, I would. The act is still immoral but necessary and justified.
Killing only becomes immoral when it can't be justified.
It is not immoral to kill to save yours or another's life. Nor is it immoral to assist a suicide if that person is dieing and in pain, or even abortion is not immoral. Yet many would say it is.

By looking at all of these examples I come to the simple conclusion that anything that causes harm is immoral.
Yet telling a paedophile that his actions harm children also causes him to feel harmed by the accusation. Sometimes causing harm is unavoidable, yet moral.
