He hated the fact that we had to kill chickens in order to eat them. He felt God has gotten it all wrong when it came to chickens. They should be, my father would say, like peaches, unfeeling and edible. Grown in chicken orchards, and picked at their ripest and plumpest. Or, he would also say, chickens should have the magical ability to be eaten, but immediately reappear, alive and well, pecking away and no worse for the wear.

Good one!
Actually, my past is strewn with "dead bodies" ...the victims of wishful thinking on my part.
However -- and this might be one of those times I shouldn't answer a question at all, let alone truthfully -- I could kill someone with pleasure if they ticked me off enough.

Yes, it is possible for a person to kill someone. However, it is a complex and multifaceted issue that varies from person to person.
Some factors that could potentially lead someone to kill include mental illness, extreme emotional distress, self-defense, and following orders from a higher authority.
Research has shown that there are certain personality traits and circumstances that may make someone more likely to kill, such as a history of violent behavior, exposure to violence, and access to weapons. However, it is important to remember that each person is unique and it is impossible to predict with certainty who will or will not kill.
This is a highly debated and subjective question. In some cases, such as self-defense or during war, killing may be seen as justified. However, it is ultimately up to individuals and societies to determine their own moral codes and beliefs about the justification of killing.
The human brain is a complex organ and its reaction to killing can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals may experience a range of emotions, including guilt and remorse, while others may feel little to no emotional response. Additionally, the brain may also experience changes in neural pathways and chemical reactions in response to killing.
