Let's say in this hypothetical situation that you could revive a human being, but only by killing another. 

Now, do you think it would be 'right' to kill a murderer to revive the innocent person that he killed?

If yes, then what about a serial killer? How would we determine who to revive? It's one for one, so obviously families of the dead would all want theirs alive. So who do we choose, and how?

Another question, would you kill someone just to revive a loved one?

Where does your morality lie?
1. Reviving a person in exchange for someone else's death is quite selfish, murderer or not. 
2. Reviving a person in exchange for a murderer's death may very well make you a murderer yourself. Especially if you are seeking justice. 
3. This would create problems because suppose many people would seek justice because murderers killed their loved ones. Suppose someone who you killed for someone you loved also had loved ones and they sought justice unto you. This creates a vicious cycle. 

So no. I don't think vengeance is right.
