Did someone claim it justifies that activity? If not, you are asking a
loaded question.

Also, what is the issue in using free software to do that? Doing that
is an issue IMO (and I say "IMO" because I don't speak for the FSF and
this issue has nothing to do with free software), but it's immoral
regardless of whether one uses free software, proprietary software or
no software. The issue is killing people, not using free software to
do that.

Freedom 2 is necessary to help others with the purpose of making
society better, but it absolutely is not and has never been limited to
that: you can choose whom to help (by giving copies of the software to
those people) regardless of their intentions.
