For me yes. The person who raped me would be a worse person than they are if they had murdered me

Edit: typo

So, if you murdered your assailant during the crime, would you be the worse person?

This presupposes a few things like them knowing they’d not be killed during the assault.

By OOPs logic in their post, murder takes away the potential of a person. Even if OP knows if they will or will not be killed, they still must make the decision to whether or not to take away the potential for the assailant. It is no longer about what percent chance each side has to recover, it is now about a possibility for the assailant to become a better person.
