Would You Kill For Your Child?

[The Saltman]

Lets say your son or daughter would die unless you killed a person you dont know in cold blood.

Would you do it? Could you live with yourself for doing it or not doing it?

[Tyler Durden]

I'd have to know more specifics... like if my son had been kidnapped or something and I couldn't get to the people that had him first...

[The Saltman]

No. Either he dies or you murder this one person. There is no way of rescuing your son. All hope lies in you murdering the unknown person. You must look into the persons eyes and murder them in cold blood.

[Cat]

Well that's a fuged up situation.

Yes I think I would.

[Tyler Durden]

No question then... someone dies, and no I wouldn't have any problem doing it...

[The Saltman]

Same here. Though I probably would have nightmares the rest of my life.

[LifeisaGarden]

I said yes before I even opened the thread.

[Floppin]

It is the ultimate expression of human selfishness, but yes I would rather kill another innocent human than have my own child die.

[mmmbeans]

yup.

[Panthro]

I say no...that's without having a kid.

I would take over a 747 jet and try to crash it into the President at a party in Florida only to have my plane disappear into the AZ desert.

[CRA]

I think some of you are answering too quick...the Saltman left that very open and vague.

Let's say the unknown stranger you have to kill is an innocent child, perhaps one even younger than your own child. Not only do you have to live with the fact you murdered an innocent child for your kid to live....possibly your kid has to live with that knowledge as well.

I have no answer yet myself....tough one.

Wish they'd bring that show back...

[The Saltman]

Ya it could be anybody. An innocent child, panthro, or even a rapist.
