Is killing objectively morally wrong?

[Ender]

i have stated by killing i mean a human killing another human being. I have always understood killing to be objectively morally wrong. Again this means it is always wrong to kill another human being reguardless of the situation.

This is incorrect. Killing another human being is not always wrong; it is in fact sometimes permitted.

*“It is lawful to kill when fighting in a just war; when carrying out by order of the Supreme Authority a sentence of death in punishment of a crime; and, finally, in cases of necessary and lawful defense of one’s own life against an unjust aggressor.” *(Catechism of Pius X, 1905)

What i was getting at, is this maybe still considered morally objectively wrong, but because of the situation and intention you are not considered morally responsible.

If something is objectively wrong (intrinsically evil), it is wrong in every circumstance and you would be morally responsible for committing the act. There are hard cases e.g. when the life of the mother is threatened by her pregnancy and actions sometimes have a double effect, but while a direct abortion would be always wrong, an operation to save the life of the mother that has the indirect - and unwanted effect - of causing the death of the fetus could be moral.
