you can appeal to reason, & morality is derived from reason. you can offer the shovel-smacker money, food, etc, or threaten to hurt them even worse. you're only in a bind if the person you're dealing with is irrational. basic tenets of morality stem from man's primary concern: his own survival. i don't want to die. from this one can logically assume other humans do not want to die. thus, killing other humans (under most scenarios) is wrong.
