That's right there was a solution at hand, but the Coalition poo-pooed it because Malaysia weren't signed up to the Geneva Convention, which they would be mad to have done considering their geographic location. Despite the fact the Aus Government, as part of the deal, could play a hand in the treatment of refugees in Malaysia.
Then of course the Coalition have a policy which contravenes the Geneva Convention so why do you accept the blatant hypocrisy?
Back to the topic at hand.
It is never OK to kill; however sometimes it is excusable. It is not OK to kill people because you need their oil (even if you claim they had WMD).
It is excusable to kill someone if they attack you and threaten your life (however it is preferred if you just stop them killing you. Not always avoidable though).
Euthanasia? Passive is definitely OK if it's inevitable although technically you're not killing anyone there. Active? In some cases OK but many cases not OK, although excusable I think.
