Most difficult moral question

[tyson]

Well the question is, what if it was your child so IMO that answers the question sufficiently.

Jesus man you put that you don't know what you'd do. LMAO.

If you think you know what you would do in any given situation, you're dead wrong.

Every situation is unique, and you will respond uniquely to every situation.

Hence, you don't know.

Damn......
Sorry to hear. Who HASN'T got kicked on around here?

I only basically said that they have big noses, which is tame compared to what I've read on here. I meant no offence but some people got all niggly. I'm hoping BPP will forgive me if I keep my head down for a few weeks.

You don't have kids, I take it.

I don't, I have a kid.

It doesn't mean that I wouldn't kill a child in order to save the lives of 19 other people. You don't know either.

I doubt I'd be able to kill my own son. But there's no way of knowing until you've encountered such scenarios.

I'm glad that I'm not your kid if you would consider killing it to save your own skin. Nice one dad.

I wouldn't kill my child if it was 1000 people hiding in the basement, and anyone else would have to kill me before they got a chance to touch my kids.

Racist! RACIST! BAN BAN BAN!

You are a refugee hiding with a group of 20 others in a basement. If you are found you will all be shot. Among the refugees is a baby which will not stop crying. Knowing that the crying baby will be noticed by the death squads and bring death on all of you, the logical answer is the kill the child. That child's death will save 19 others. Failing to kill the child will cost the lives of everyone.

Could you do it? I'm not sure if I could.

Part 2 - what if it was your own child?

The child would get choked out in both scenarios.

Yeah but if you don't kill your kid then you and everyone else dies anyways.

[Dr.Depravity]

I would not kill the child, but would defend the child to the death if somebody else in the group tried to kill him/her.

[SlickRikki]

I'd not only kill it. Id smother it with my bear hands, and then eat it since there probably isn't much food and I don't mind raw meat.

hahaha lol i cant stop laughing. oh damn
