The question just popped while watching The Walking Dead with my children this afternoon. I asked "What if I suddenly become a zombie, will you be able to kill me?" They said yes without batting an eyelash. It is survival, they said.
I do not know it if it is just me being emotional but I will truly find it difficult to execute the act of killing a loved one. I know this could even kill me in such a situation.
Will you be able to kill a zombie loved one that easy?

Well for the sake of this make believe scenario, if a zombie did exist, then the only way to eliminate then is to kill them. Now, we all know that this will never happen, so the answer should be very easy, kill them without batting an eye like your children said. In real life, that is a major hard decision to make.

Hi inertia: I think you are right. It's so much easier to say kill them! because we are talking about a fictional scenario but if this would be truth it would be really difficult, even if it's a zombie to kill someone that has the body of the person you love.

Well, I will respond to starsailover first. I do understand that if it were real and not fictional, it would be a very hard choice to make. But thinking like a rational human, it is impossible. Now, bingskee, I just feel that it is a simple answer because it is impossible and it could never really happen in real life. So, on this discussion, we could just have some fun with it.

LOL! But you're not you anymore if you are a zombie. So, I guess your kids are right to kill you in order to survive.
Maybe if I turned into a zombie one day, I would ask my kids to kill me as well cause I definitely do not want to be a zombie forever.

It was some silly Facebook quiz about how long I would survive a zombie attack.

Of course, I will kill him. If he is on his right mind, I guess he will also plead to kill his body. Anyway, a zoombie in the body of your loved one it not your real loved one. And his soul could be suffering too much by seeing his body killing people. He wouldn't want to live as a zombie anyway.

Funny you should have a topic like this..I ask my boyfriend this all the time. He always says that if I were a zombie that would kill him, he would shoot me even though he loves me a lot. But I don't think I would be able to kill him if he were a zombie =/ Maybe if I was actually in that situation I would be able to if my life depended on it and if he's a zombie then he's really not the same guy I love. I always tell him that I'd try to make him a vegetarian zombie that was nice lol

hello, courtknee.
the topic just popped from the mind. though i am not a believer of zombies, thought it would be something to discuss about. there are similar situations, other than that of the zombies, that could challenge our decisions with the loved ones.

I think if you think of them as loved ones it makes the choice hard. But if you realize that it really isn't your loved one anymore then it makes the choice a little easier. It is about survival. If you want to survive you have to take out those who are trying to kill you. Once they become a zombie they are no longer family, they are the enemy.

Hi bingskee: I don't think if I would be able to kill but if I need to do, I mean if it's my life or a zombie I would do this. I don't know too much about zombies but as far as I know they are not the persons they were when they were human beings anymore so it's not time for mercy

Dear Ms Bingskee
Killing is not that easy and for me it is quite more difficult. But still I am not quite sure when it comes to the situation you mention.
But I have one thought or question as always
Do the Zombies have to be Cruel and need be killed? Cant they be one exception - a cute and lovable Zombie

I don't think that will be easy. To kill someone is difficult and not to mention about our love one, it will be more difficult. Unless we are heartless and have no feeling. Even when we know that our love one has turn into zombie, I don't think we will be able to kill them without think twice. If that happen to me, I will probably find a way to lock my love one up and without needed to kill my love one.

I don't know if you kill that easy, killing is never easy. But you will since in the end you fear your own life the most and you will discover that your beloved one is not existing anymore. That zombie one is not the one you knew but just exists in your mind.

yes of course i will kill even if she is my mother or he is my father of he is my brother and sister, yes its a survival so you need to kill someone who want to kill you or eat your brain and body, you know some situations like this you must think because if you kill someone maybe it will save more people, yes its difficult to execute your love-ones and by your own hands it will break your heart but you need to do it so you will not be infected. :)
