Could you kill one person to save a thousand?  |
|
 If the situation presented itself and you had the opportunity to save one thousand people from certain death but the price was that you had to take the life of one person could you do it? Do you think you could take one persons life to save a million people? Or do you think that nobody has the right to take a persons life no matter the consequences? Could you take the life of a loved one to cure the world of ilness and disease? Please share and express your opinions.

| 2. ulrak14344 (53) | 3 years ago |  This is an interesting discussion yet very difficult to discuss about. I think I really don't know what to do. Killing a person is a mortal sin. But it is also hard to leave the person alive who will be responsible for the death of many people. It is also difficult to think about our love one to be sacrificed in order to save the world from illness and disease. I really don't know what to answer. I'm sorry. Lol!

| 3. andyvish (656) | 3 years ago |  I think it is not a difficult question at all. it is that simple.
If you need to kill one or two person for saving ten or twenty people, it is legitimate business and no law will be able to punish you if you have best advcate. You do this and there is no good advocate from your side you are definitely in hell.
But atleast your conscience will know that you did a nice thing. Always go by your conscience.

| darkness01 (1089) | 3 years ago | I agree that if you truly believe you are doing the right thing, which ever decision you make, then you should be at piece with your conscience at least. Thank you for your response. | |

5.  rohitnair13 (261) | 3 years ago |  well, that actually depends on the circumstances that led to that moment and prior history of the person,whether i know what he's capable of and of whathe is not. i wouldnt be ready to just go up and kill someone because i had heard a few things about him. now in case of something very obvious,like some guy abt to pull a bomb and im the only person to stop it,i dont think i would hesitate. sure,i'd be getting nightmares for a long time but then what has to be done has to be done right? now taking the life of someone close so that the world may be sured of a disease??? thats a tough one..i really wouldnt know how to do that in case it come up..but otherwise,if it were a stranger maybe i'd go ahead and do it...that might make me a hypocrite,but then thats the way it is..

| darkness01 (1089) | 3 years ago | I think what you have said shows just how much of a situation we would find ourselves in. You also raise a good point about the history of the person in question and what impact this would have on your decision. Thank you for your response. | |

7.  palonghorn (3741) | 3 years ago |  Since you really don't give a clear reason behind saving the thousand, kinda hard to answer this for some. As for me, it's simple, to kill one to save thousands, yes I could. As for taking the life of a loved one to cure an illness or disease, I know how my family feels, and they would say do it, before I would even have to question it.

| darkness01 (1089) | 3 years ago | Their is no reason to save the thousand people but there is no reason to kill the one person to save the thousand people. The point is that could YOU take the life of this one regular person to save a thousand other people?
Thank you for your response. | |
