Ah, there I think you're adding apples and oranges; the cases aren't related. That's like combining multiple people's misery to get "more" misery; you can't do that, people only feel what they themselves feel; I can't get any sadder than I am/do. I don't have to justify killing the one in the first case (to myself, and I'm all who matters because I only have to live with my own decisions) because the scenario was completely different.
