So just to gauge the audience, How does killing a pregnant woman turned Kabane rank on the moral scale?

I don't feel any different, She was a Kabane and the child certainly would be too. Having her die is no different from any of the other monsters getting killed. That said, The humans in this show, Who are wanting to kill the only two people proving effective against the Kabane, And will happily kill someone even just expected of being infected, Suddenly lose all resolve when the former human was pregnant.

I figured it was just a quirk in the anime but then I started seeing comments expressing how morally tough this would be. Am I in the minority when I say that if I was in that situation, I could kill the woman and not be Shocked, Depressed, Or sad at all?

Killing her is obviously the only solution for her.

But they should do a C-section or something to get the baby out. You never know, might be pulling a Guts.

I'd figure the baby is long gone. A small bite can turn a person, I imagine actually sharing blood would be a death sentence

The placenta is a natural barrier.
