Compare it to the following situation:
You know that there's a group of men after some woman, and you know that they will find her in about two hours and first gangrape her, then torture her to death. Now, you're a good guy, so you decide to do something about it: you find her yourself, rape her just once, then shoot her through the head.
Undoubtedly, she's better off that way, yet what you did was still wrong. That's because you are responsible for your own actions, not for the actions of others.

Yet again, read my initial response. Who are we to judge him?
Without knowing you at all I can safely bett that the amount of money you and I spend on pizzas is enough to feed a starving child in Ethiopia, but it's very unlikely that you're going to give up on pizzas and start wiring your money to some African country.
One thing we are good at - judge other people ;)
