The will to live is also part of nature, as is the wish for the survival of one's own race.

Exactly.
Sure, humans may one day be wiped off the face of the earth because of something natural, supernatural or whatever that we cannot control.
But murder to create a super-breed of humans? Never going to happen.

The will to live is encapsulated in the effort of being the first to shoot or the last to dodge.
So you're saying that by legalizing and condoning murder, we'd be putting ourselves (humans) back into the realm of natural selection. Okay, that makes sense.
Why would we want to do that though? How does it possibly benefit us as a race? By operating outside of natural selection, we're able to have a more peaceful, structured existence, instead of living in the constant chaos of natural selection. Humans need laws and structure if an optimal living situation is to be achieved.
It is folly to embrace stagnation. Humanity cannot advance if it does not risk.
No.
You are just a murderer
To think you'll become the best by simply killing the rest
You just become a mass murderer
The next target of people who wish to get rid of you.
Power and status that is destroyed at the instant by teamwork.
That's all that will result of it.
By law, killing under law cannot be murder. Soldiers don't murder enemy soldiers. Police don't murder gangbangers.
By definition, killing for self-defense cannot be murder. Murder is pre-mediated. Self-defense is a momentary response.
