Jun Wu Xiao didn't ponder long before responding:

"It depends on the situation. For example, if two people want to duel to the death, bet all their assets, or simply want to fight. There's nothing wrong with that because both of them are happy with that decision and they're not harming unrelated people. However, if anyone voluntarily kills someone without consensus from both sides, they cannot be considered human and must be punished. Moreover, because they are not human, the punishment imposed on them would be inhumane punishment."
