What's the earliest age it's appropriate to kill a child?

It is generally not appropriate to kill a child at any age. However, in some cultures, female infants are routinely killed at birth or soon thereafter. Additionally, there have been cultures in which children as young as 7 or 8 years old have been used as combatants in wars or given ceremonial sacrifices. In cases like these, the age at which it is considered appropriate to kill a child is largely dependent upon the cultural views on the matter.
