Here's the BBC Iplayer link to that Dimbleby Lecture mentioned:
Shaking Hands With Death.

About Me
- Neal Asher
- Latchingdon, Essex, United Kingdom
- I’ve been an engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter and builder. Now I write science fiction books, and am slowly getting over the feeling that someone is going to find me out, and can call myself a writer without wincing and ducking my head. As professions go, I prefer this one: I don’t have to clock-in, change my clothes after work, nor scrub sensitive parts of my body with detergent. I think I’ll hang around.

One thing from his lecture that strikes me as one of the reasons we even have this debate, is the "Thou shalt not kill" phrase.
I've now heard on several occasions that it's either a mistranslation, deliberate or not.
The real phrase should be:
"Thou shalt not murder".
Thanks for posting it.
