Would you ever kill?

Would you ever kill another person to save yourself? How about a member of your family? What would it take for you to end another life? Force

I would only kill someone to prevent them from killing someone else. I would not kill someone to save myself. I'm going to die sooner or later. If someone is out to kill me then I'll die sooner rather than be forced to kill them.

If someone threatens my life then I have every right to protect myself and if that involves killing them then yes I will kill. This goes for any family or friends because in a way they are part of me and threatening them is like threatening me.

Thanks for your response. What about my question 2 I asked in an earlier response? If the danger wasn't immediate. Force

i would kill to save myself in outmost need yes, but if i had to choose one person in my house to leave alive, then that would be my kid if i had one and if he would be independant enough to survive. he is the youngest in the family so has the longest life ahead of him. what would it take? some big danger in the world.

If it came down to it, I would have to kill or be killed for my family. I think I'm a pretty tough cookie from what I've been through before, but no one ever really knows what will happen. I would die for my family in a heartbeat if it meant they would live on. Basically any intruder that threatens something regarding my kids, I would immediately try to harm them. I am pretty quick tempered so I wouldn't be nice about it. I would have to git-r-done.

Thank you for your input Mom. It made me think of a question 2 to this. Suppose they weren't in immediate danger. Rather than an intruder or a mugging or something, suppose it was something you knew would happen that couldn't be stopped otherwise. All other options were exhausted. Force

I can't really imagine killing someone, but I would not think twice about it if they threatened myself or my family.

I dont think i could kill any one....even if somehow i do...i'd just end up killing my self due to all the guilt...I just cant see how murderers can live with the guilt of ending someones life....just the tought of killing someones kid or a husband, wife, doughter, son....oh god....i think i'll just stop now :)

Thanks for your input. It almost seems a no-brainer to think of family first. Force

If it was a last resort "him or me" or "him or a loved one" yes, but ONLY as a last resort.
