No, the question was is it moral to kill someone who has the zombie virus but isn't a zombie yet. ^_^

Sorry, but no.

Church teaching says you have to let the poor zombie-virus afflicted person die a natural death first. You can only kill them after their immortal soul has moved on and their body has turned into a zombie.

Unfortunately, this means that in the battle of orthodox Catholics vs. zombies, we're doomed.

OTOH, we're really good vs. vampires!

no. but chances are nobody would be in such a situation because there is a vaccine which is 100% effective and if they knew they had the zombie virus, it would only make sense to get this vaccine. Once they reach the point where the vaccine would do little good, they will be in a coma anyway and could not make a rational decision.

If I was stuck on a desert island and realized that I had contracted zombie virus, I might be tempted to "turn out the lights" as it were, but hopefully my response would be an act of total trust and abandonment to God.

I had no idea there was a zombie virus vaccine. Guess I haven't watched enough zombie movies. Not that I'm going to remedy that situation ...

Wow ... why don't more people know about it? Apparently thousands of people have succumbed to zombieism in the intervening years. According to George Romero, that is.
