These are extreme things being thought about in this thread, and i doubt that it is possible to form generalised blueprints "one size fits all imaginable situations" on when to do what, in every situation matching the according criteria to allow the measurements being considered. you have to consider them on a one-by-one basis instead, always, and decide new and from scratch every time such an extreme case shows up. It remains to be an act of balancing on the sharp edge of the sword.
And never shall it become a thing of routine. When deciding for torture, death penalties, and drone strikes in situations of non-declared war, become acts of routine - then you know that you are living in a dictatorship for sure.
