Solanum (the zombie virus as defined by max brooks' zombie survival guide.) victims should be killed

INTRODUCTIONI am a massive fan of the zombie sub-genre and will accept any zombie related debate with a winnable resolution. Jus' sayin'.Now, with my definitions accepted in the comments section, I want to expand upon the resolution:My opponent proposes that all victims of zombie bites should be killed, with or without their consent. In order to build a case against this resolution, I will be arguing that victims should be allowed to live their final 24 hours (page 3 of the Zombie Survival Guide lists the stages of infection with 24 hours being the time it takes for infection to claim the victim, give or take several hours) unless they choose to die before hand.IMPORTANT NOTEIn order for the victim of a zombie bite to be known to the group, they must either progress to the point where infection takes obvious physical symptoms (around hour 8 according to the book), the victim was seen being bitten or the victim reveals the bite to the group.In all of these scenarios, the victim is not a threat to the group as the infection is known. Unlike some zombie movies (28 days later for example, where the infection takes just seconds to turn a person into a mindlessly violent 'zombie') the book specifically lays out the infection process, where the victim becomes increasingly debilitated over several hours.Also, I will be citing examples of other zombie movies (from which this book was obviously expired) as evidence for my arguments. My opponent may question the validity of it if he chooses.So, without further ado...ARGUMENTSVictims can still be useful to a group for several hoursI cite several examples of this:Roger (Dawn of the Dead, 1978)During the scene where Peter and Roger are blocking off the main entrances to the mall with trucks to better secure it, Roger is bitten on the arm before they complete the task. He is still able to help complete the task in his bitten state.Michael (Dawn of the Dead, 2004)During the escape scene at the end, Michael is bitten. He continues to help the group while bitten.The point of these two examples is that the victim is not immediately dangerous and can still be helpful for potentially several hours after being bitten, before they succumb to full blown fever and paralysis.Victims often want to end their own lives on their own termsThe above two examples fit this argument too, but I will add a further example...Jim (Walking Dead comic and TV series)Jim is an excellent example of what I was talking about above. He chose to his bite but the symptoms started to manifest and he was caught. Once known to the group, he was no longer a threat. Jim chooses to succumb to the infection, having the group leave him on the side of the road.Victims are not necessarily done for once bitten.Page 5 of the book cites severing a bitten limb as an effective method of stopping the fatal infection, albeit with only a 1/10 chance of survival.Dale (Walking Dead comic) and Hershal (Walking Dead TV series) are examples of this.REBUTTALS“There is no way to stop this eventuality “Incorrect. My third argument proposes an alternative to simply terminating victims. Given there is some known success, I am guessing a large majority of victims may choose to have their limbs severed and attempt to survive that, rather than be executed.CONCLUSIONI will leave it at that for now. There is a major ethical question about murdering someone against their consent to bring up, but I'll focus on that next round. Over to you sir.SOURCESAll sources will be refered to at the time they were cited. I'd like to ask my opponent to cite which exact page he is referring to in the book, rather than citing the whole thing as a source. I don't have time to search through 200+ pages to find the part he is talking about, although I have the book right here next to me.
