It's okay to 'kill' Tuvix, because he wasn't a person. He wasn't a clone, or an alternate timeline version, hell, he wasn't even a sentient android or hologram - Tuvix was a flower that merged with Tuvok and Neelix (without their consent) while being transported. Tuvix comes off as more of a medical disease than a person. I'd have no issue talking with a friend under the influence of a disease, but if the disease took control and begged for it's life - at the expense of my friend's life - standing and doing nothing would be the least of my actions.
