{{quote|'''The Doctor''': Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other, and that's it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear... in peace, and never even know the word "Dalek".

'''The Doctor''': [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him|But if I kill... wipe out a whole intelligent life form, then I become like them. I'd be no better than the Daleks.]] |''[[Doctor Who]]'', "Genesis of the Daleks"}}

** For understandable reasons, Ripley seems to have no moral reservations on this point:
