I have a Texas CHL (Concealed Handgun License). Therefore, I try to keep up with the latest and greatest laws that pertain thereto. The following is in the current book (ls-16.pdf) published by the government for the purpose:
PC 9.34 PROTECTION OF LIFE OR HEALTH.
(a) ...
(b) A person is justified in using both force and deadly force against another when and to the degree he reasonably believes the force or deadly force is immediately necessary to preserve the other's life in an emergency.OK, so... I can kill somebody dead in order to save their life?
Okee - Dokee, now.

So let's say you see someone jump of a building and instead of dying they just break their back... Are you allowed to put them out of there misery?
Only if that will 'preserve their life'.
