 In WAM, Anscombe wrote at greater length about the difference between murdering and other forms of killing. She distinguished choosing to kill the innocent as a means to your end, which is always murder, from choosing to do something else which you know as a statistical certainty will kill the innocent. Bombing civilian populations in order to provoke surrender is clearly a case of the former. The latter might or might not also be murder – it depends upon some details. It’s possible to administer a drug to alleviate the horrid pain of someone in mortal illness, knowing full well that, alas, the patient will thereby die sooner, but not thereby murder your patient. The patient’s death might not have been your end, nor a means to any such end. This difference in an action’s structure bears upon whether it constitutes murder. That is, what makes some forms of killing murder is not our opposition to it, nor the fact that it is unjust or wrong. Rather, some forms of killing are aptly described as murder, which we then might condemn and oppose.
