Yes.Murder means using a human being purely as a means, not an end. In this case especially. Also, Kant was big on human dignity.

That's only one way he puts it.You should be able to reasonably will the maxim of your act to be universal law. According to Kant, this is the same thing as saying that humans are not to be treated as a pure means, but always primarily as an end.
You cannot reasonably want murder to be universal law, for obvious reasons.
