Ha ha i won't be doin the killing. Our inhouse tree team may be reducing it by a third, maybe more if the rot is extending that far. Our cut off point for reducing is the lowest limb on the trunk. Tt would still survive with that bit but for the past 2 years it hasnt shed bark or grown new needles. May need to get the county arb officer, district TO and head of the tree team to probe this tree like its never been probed before.

Stop thinking too deep. . Just fell the damn thing. It's nothing super special. Remember you can always replant!?
