Oh, heavens no, I never said their system didn't treat individual life with remarkable indifference, I just claimed that for the individual Kilrathi, death was still a big deal... I mean, even in today's Japan, when the son of the family doesn't get into collegte and kills himself because of that... I mean, yeah he preserved honor but I doubt his Dad does cartwheels across the floor for losing a son. I think the Kilrathi are a bit like that... They still have nurturing instincts, but they are repressed by this unquestionable lifestyle which promotes honor and sacrifice.
