Summary: 

All these left-brained explanations of how you can't recover from murder
miss the point.

We're all going to die, and if you murder me you've taken a certain quantity
of my life from me.  You haven't necessarily changed the total quality
of my life, integrated from birth to death (how's that for left-brained!).

If you do something--even to someone else--that lowers the quality of my
life, then you may have hurt me even more.  That depends on what my values
are.  I may value quality of life over quantity.
