I don't regard anything to do with "soul" as relevant, I don't understand what people mean by the word, I don't know how they distinguish what they mean from "spirit" and I've yet to find anyone prepared to discuss the meaning at all. Though I do sometimes ask.
I do, however, restrict the word "murder" to the deliberate killing of humans. That's just a historical accident of language.
