Hmm... Yes. There is a difference. Maybe I need to clarify my original statement. In this situation, I stand by my words. A life taken from inaction is no better than one taken from action in this situation, because either way, my action was one with benevolent intent. If one is acting with malevolent intent, things change. In that situation, I'd say that it makes you a worse person to kill than to let die. However, the net good (or bad) created from your actions still remains the same in either way, even in this context.
