Is there a situation outside of self defense where you might kill another person?

Sure. Service to my country or community.
Cops are forced all the time to make those kinds of decisions, and in some cases, they are not the ones being threatened. Likewise, as a soldier I had to train and mentally prepare for everything from lining a guy up in my sights and shooting him to calling in artillery or air strikes on his house. If I had it my way, the bastards never would have known I was there. I can't really call that self-defense. It's war.
I know what you mean, though, and I hope sincerely that the answer is no.
