Elanor Pam now:

I think it's about the feeling of killing someone. Maybe a soldier in the
battlefield would get used to having to kill, but I'm sure a part of him/her
would wish s/he didn't have to do that at all. Knowing that you are
destroying a life will probably leave anyone feeling torn up inside.

Though for a sociopath like Voldie, who can't actually think of anyone
outside of himself as a living creature with its own feelings and
experiences, I don't see how that would help him with a horcrux - he
probably feels the same while killing as he feels when he breaks a jar.
