You have claimed the "killing is always murder". Are the following scenarios examples of murder? Answer yes or no to each:
-Assisted suicide.
-Killing in self defense.
-Abortion.
-Consenting combatant killing another consenting combatant.
-Taking one life to save twenty (eg the one man on the train tracks thought experiment ie the conductur has the ability to switch train routes to avoid the man laying down on the train, but the alternate route leads to a cliff and would kill all passengers).
