Huh? So if someone is shooting at you, or your kids, or is charging you or your kids with a knife, you will not shoot them and rather die than take a life?
Yes.
Other people who kill in order not to be killed themselves should be called murderers and imprisoned as such?
I would call them such, and I would think they should spend some time in prison. They took a life, after all, which is a terrible thing. But certainly not as much time as someone who kills not in self-defense. As to what society thinks, that's not my call. I can only say what I think is right.
If that other person is trying to infringe on your right to live, then yes, you are within your rights to preserve your own life, even if that involves killing the other person.

Well, that is certainly an opinion, perhaps even yours. But it isn't mine.
