The lines blur, too, because I always consider zombie’s merely corpses animated via a virus. Just like body parts, nervers, muscles, etc. can still animate after death, if a virus were to overtake the body wholeheartedly, much like cancer, than it’s pretty much a virus your fighting rather than a former person.

You?re assuming something has to be alive in order to inflict death:

death: “The termination or extinction of something”

kill: “To put an end to; extinguish”

According to those definitions you would be murdering a zombie. However, since it would probably be in self defense I concur with your original statement.

It’s already dead.

“To constitute murder there must be an intentional infliction upon the person killed of bodily harm involving a high degree of probability that it will result in death.”

So the question is, when you kill a zombie does it die?

Zombies? It’s not murder if they’re undead…I think.
