According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, individuals have a right and a duty to protect their own lives when in danger, and someone who "defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow."

Did not know that. Does that catechism also include that one may have a right and duty to protect another person from a similar danger? Especially the weaker among us? Like elderly or women, children?
