how many people would you kill to save your child\'s life?
i think this thread might have been done before, but not in this forum. You can push a button and it will kill a bunch of random or your child dies. What is the highest number of people you would kill to save your child?

I think this question is kinda dumb. The human moral sense is not adapted to deal with this, and so I think a lot of what we spit out on the subject is just garbage.

What a silly question. Except for my wife, there is no one on the face of this Earth I'd save before my kids. So, I guess the answer is 6 billion or so.

Re: how many people would you kill to save your child\'s life?
I would have to go with zero. I would not want other people pushing buttons that could randomly kill me and my family, so I won't push the same button when offered. Obviously if i was there on the spot and my kid was screaming and yelling and about to die I might change my mind. But in the general case, I don't feel qualified to make the judgment as to when X is a high or low enough number to be OK.

Well, I'm not sure how many, but you would certainly be first on the list.

Do I have to stop pushing after my child is saved? |
