As I said, it's different if it's a vital interest against a vital interest. It might still be morally incorrect, but sometimes, you just don't have the luxury of taking that into account.
However, that was back then. In some cultures, it might be necessary to leave the weak and elderly to rot. However, the moment it's not about survival anymore, it becomes a different matter.
Also, murder is generally committed in cold-blood and without the need to preserve one's own life.
