Feeling Guilt For Killing Zombies

Three reasons why people could feel guilt for killing zombies are, they’re still alive, you knew the zombie that you killed when they were human, and they are conscious of what they are doing.
First, A zombie is similar to the criminally insane. They cannot be held accountable for their actions, but they can't be let out loose. If a zombie is no longer considered a human, it cannot held accountable for itself(Pearl, Elizabeth). This article also states that zombies seem to lack a conscious, but you don't need to have a conscious to feel pain. Dogs are also believed to lack conscious, and they can still feel pain. According to an associate professor of biology, Luis Espinasa states that “You don't need a soul to feel pain”(Pearl, Elizabeth).
