lethal force

Lethal force refers to actions intended to cause serious injury or death to another person. It is often discussed in contexts like law enforcement, self-defense, or military operations. When individuals use lethal force, they typically believe that it is necessary to protect themselves or others from imminent harm. The legality and morality of using lethal force can vary based on laws, circumstances, and individual judgment. It raises complex ethical questions about the value of life, the right to protect oneself, and the consequences of such actions on society and individuals involved.
