He does not want to kill his son. He wants his son to live.
The dark lord himself,Darth Vader, killed 1,379,319 players by Force-choking them to death on Walker Assault on Hoth. We already knew Star Wars: Battlefront's beta was the largest in EA's history, with 9.5 million players but these more in-depth numbers are way more fun.

If he were to take his mask off, the Sith Lord would soon suffocate. So it's the most crucial part of his armor. The only time he can breathe without the need for his mask is when he is in one of his meditation chambers seen in A New Hope.
Luke's inner conflict is exemplified in Return of the Jedi via numerous details, both overt and subtle, but he does not actually use the dark side's famous Force choke at any point in the film.

Because he was not an active member of the Jedi Order during Order 66, Infil'a escaped execution. Some time later, he faced the Sith Lord Darth Vader wielding a green lightsaber. Infil'a put up a fierce fight against Vader, almost killing him by throwing the Sith Lord off of a cliff.
The short answer is yes, without a doubt, Vader regretted becoming a cybernetic monstrosity. First, there's the constant pain and discomfort from his suit. Worse, however, is the psychological pain. Vader destroyed everything he had ever known for a chance to save Padme.
It appeared that Darth Vader was more machine than we thought. His armor could be hacked and controlled by a device. In a turn of events, Darth Vader's right limb holding his dangerous scarlet lightsaber was moving of its own accord toward his neck. This was a dangerous weakness indeed.
