I'd research the people who's death is most likely to result in positive outcomes and kill them.

LOL. That's a theme that is very well explored in fiction.

Hint: it's not as crystal clear as you think it is.

I agree with your conclusion that it is not crystal clear, but because the ends don't justify the means (for humans), and not by appealing to fictional evidence.
