Always depends on the situation. People change who they are due to the experiences they have had and the experience they're having at the moment. So yes, put in the right situation, I everyone has the ability to kill.
As for me, I would like to think I could bring myself to do it if I needed/wanted to for whatever reason. I don't think there's anything particularly special about life, the world has plenty of it, and everyone's gonna die someday, right? I know that's serial killer logic there, but it's still true. At the moment, however, I have trouble enough asking a girl out on a date, so if I decided it was time to make my hands red I would probably let my cowardice get the better of me before I did anything.
I think a greater moral question to me would be "Would you purposely do something that caused more suffering than joy?" To me, death =/= suffering, its just part of the cycle. Unless someone is tortured to death, but I can't think of any reason I would do that to someone.
Also, shouldn't this thread have a poll?
