It could actually be the other way around-- an exponential decay. You would be horrified by killing one person, but as the numbers grow, the killings get more impersonal and therefore easier. However, killing a billion people one at a time would still hurt as much as killing one person times a billion.
Actually, it's probably more of a twisted, jumbled mess of a correlation that no one has the time, resources, or heart to untangle.
Actually, it's probably more of a... hold on.
