But, there is a very real possibility that the people are already dead or dying, so that killing them quickly is better than freeing them.
But this gets back to my original point: Why do Sam and Dean rarely have this attitude when the possessed person is someone they have a reason to care about?
I also think this is a pretty questionable statement given the huge numbers of examples we have of possession victims who survive their possession. Of our reoccurring characters, Sam, Bobby, John, Lisa, Linda Tran (and if we're counting angel possessions, Claire Novak) were all possessed at least once in the first ten seasons, and survived. Bobby was seriously injured, but he still survived and lived a life.
"Well, they might had died anyway," is an excuse, and it's one that's been be used in the real world, too. It never ends pretty.
When Bobby shot Ruby, they were having a completely non-violent conversation, and she was standing with her arms stretched egging him to shoot. Ruby was evil. What was Bobby's excuse?
