I think if I were in the situation where I had to kill someone to protect one of the members of my family I could. Like in a robbery or something. I see it in movies and hear stories. If I felt my loved one is in danger like my child or husband I would do whatever I could to protect them. Could you you do it if you were faced with a situation where someone you loved were in danger?

For the sake of argument, YES! There are a lot of reasons; 1. If my loved one cannot protect herself/himself, then someone should stand up and protect them. That leaves me. I will. My child cannot do anything against thugs or other villains! 2. if it is a matter of killing or being killed, then another YES! In life threatening instances, then I would definitely do that! 3. If that is the last resort, even if it would cost my life, then I will do it. I know there must be a ton of reasons, but these are just a few that I can think of at the top of my head. Wow, your rating has increased pretty fast. You even overtook me. He he he! Great job! This is a good discussion, serious, but good! Someone has to ask this somehow, right?

I ask myself this question a lot. I know it is wierd but I see it a lot in movies and TV. I am sure it happens but I hope I am never in that situation. I would do it as a lst resort.

I would like to think that wouldn't be necessary - but if absolutely necessary...yes.
