It's not an easy subject to tackle.
I've always been kind of partial to this 1747 Philadelphia sermon, cited in the above:
He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self.
