Just to be clear. I would only look at it to possibly be on the table if there was something worth acquiring by setting aside your morality. Sort of like, "Is there such thing as a justifiable homicide?" or "Can fighting a war be moral?" In those cases, the protection of lives and property justifies the use of lethal force. Again, though, I fear the slippery slope, in that what starts out as "only in the rarest of circumstances" becomes common place. In that regard, I vote for "never".
