Other than judicial execution, when is the intentional taking of a human life acceptable?
Self-defense exceptions are forced on the defender, they are not intentional acts.

I must disagree. There is certainly a difference between unintentionally hitting somebody dressed in black with your car at night and pulling your gun and dispatching a burglar who’s reaching for his.
I say the morality is clear and that we can’t split hairs on “the meaning of intentional” and divine a conclusion of whether Gorsuch would be a hard-liner on self-defense.

Between life in prison and death I would choose death.
Life is a way way worse punishment then death.

Other than judicial execution, when is the intentional taking of a human life acceptable? War. Even in provoked war, your side will wind up killing people on the other side who are otherwise innocent, because it's necessary to win.
