First of all, I'm arguing from the perspective of someone who finds the DR and allowing Morrigan to control the soul of an old god as being high risk. If you don't find the DR to be too high of a risk, if you are not arguing the perspective of a US-inclined-type character, then you probably won't see a valid reason to kill Morrigan.

Morrigan's plan may indeed sound similar to what the Architect wanted, but that's really just making an assumption since we don't know anything else about Morrigan's plan other than it involves change.
We know Morrigan's plan involves change against people's will. That the people may be inclined to fight against it "with every fiber of their being". If the change is so great to invoke that kind of opposition, what kind of casualty count could we be talking about here?
She says "sometimes change is what people need most. Sometimes change is what sets them free." We also know what kind of freedom Morrigan enjoys. "Survival has meaning. Power has meaning." She despises the weakness of the circle mages, and was completely willing to sacrifice the alienage elves for a bit of extra power.
The Architect does reveal part of his plan in Awakening and we know the rest from "The Calling"
It's true that we did learn more about the Architect's plan than Morrigan's. But the Architect's plan also primarily involved changing people against their will.
(although "The Calling" should only be taken into consideration if we're metagaming).
Can I have gotten some of this info from Loghain?
so I'll give you the reason in saying that there is a decent chance that Morrigan's plan may result in something that won't be good for everyone.
Just because something is good for her, doesn't mean that it's good for everyone. Just like the Architect. And considering that she needs something as powerful as an old god soul to help her with this plan, I doubt we're talking small scale, here.
If you don't trust her at all, then yes, I can see that as a somewhat logical way for a character to decide that it's better to stop her right there (I still don't agree with the decision, but I can see the logic behind it and find it to be a somewhat reasonable choice).
Fair enough. We're disagreeing that the risk is too high to kill her, but not that if the risk were perceived as being too high, that killing her might be reasoned.
That being said, considering that character voluntarily accepted the DR in the first place (presumably solely to save her own life) without knowing much information about it and knowing she didn't trust Morrigan, she shares the blame with Morrigan for whatever the OGB may represent in the future.
Oh, this character is very aware of that. However, Morrigan *did* change her story. She told my character that she wanted to innocently preserve and old magic. Completely innocent. And now she's saying it's involved in a plan for some kind of world-changing event? wtf?
It seems unfair to "kill" Morrigan now that she's no longer an ally just because she's having regrets about doing the DR.
It might be unfair. But if I think that this plan is too dangerous, and that this is my last chance to stop it, should I let her walk because I'm worried that I'll be doing something that is unfair? It's not like I don't feel bad about it at all. But having been 'fair' is not going to comfort my character if this plan does turn out to be harmful.
