Agreed. Plus there's the common thing in things like literature about you being able to kill an infected friend or family member - it's more of an act of relieving them from something hellish (an act of love in many ways) than anything else.

That sounds much better in many ways than killing (or at least attacking) someone who looks exactly like your friend or family member.
