would you take the life of a fellow human being for £1,000,000,000?

would you have different answer depending on who the victim was?

innocent man/woman/child
convicted serial killer/rapist/terrorist
someone who had terminal disease

after you answer you can post your dilemmas too

[Niamh.]

No, the only option I'd consider is the last one if the person themselves had requested it

I'll get back to you with a moral dilemma, need to have a think about it

[MTVN]

It's an interesting question. I dont think I could bring myself to do it tbh, and I would be guilt-riddent the rest of my life. If it was a convicted terrorist or murderer maybe, but it would go against my principles as I've never believed in the death penalty. I would do a lot of things for a million, but killing someone wouldnt be one of them

Vicky would... all of the above!

I don't think I could kill a child.

But any of the others, if there was no chance of me being caught...yes I probably would. Considering I did not know the person or any of their family. And would never hear of it again.

How would we kill them? People don't die easy, it's not like the movies lol

you can choose your weapon

I would choose one appropriate to the crime if it was the serial killer etc

for a terrorist I would make them insert their hand through a reinforced metal wall, then attach an explosive device to it

then repeat for the other hand

then the right foot, left foot, left arm upto elbow, right arm upto elbow and so on

for a child rapist, they would be strapped to a dirty floor crawling with insects and a motorised contraption set up in between their legs (a large thick pole fitted with small razors and covered in small quantities of acid

put me in charge of the prison service and crime would fall dramatically

Wow. I think we may have a psychopath on our hands.

well I believe evil criminals like terrorists and child rapists deserve punishment and what better way than the punishment to fit the crime

I have met a lot of people who agree with me

Get in close and use a knife.

Crossbows are for cats.

Hell no.

[Smithy]

I could probably do the convicted.... but only if it was with a gun or something, and I'd not get in trouble with the law

[Shasown]

Yes I would. Not a problem with most of them would do it for considerably less.

Would need to know the reasoning before the innocent woman or child, even then would not necessarily do it for the fee offered.

Are you paying half up front?

[Grimnir]

interesting replies and surprising too

for me I would kill a serial killer/rapist/terrorist for free!!! so for a billion pounds its a no brainer

the only one I would say categorically no to is the innocent child

[BB_Eye]

Well I always wanted to be an assassin...

me too

have you seen Grosse Pointe Blank? that film is awesome

[Grimnir]

I thought of another dilemma

you are diagnosed with a terminal disease and a mysterious individual offers you the chance to be cryogenically frozen

would you say goodby to your friends and family and choose to be frozen, with hope of maybe in the future there is a cure for your disease

or choose to stay with friends and family and accept death

on a personal note - I would choose to be cryogenically frozen even if I did not have a disease I would love to see the future say 500 years from now

Tool up with what? How do you kill huge robots?

Only if they are hostile to humans. You never know they may treat you like a king/queen. If you need to, determine weak spots, develop an effective strategy, find or make effective weapons.

No, for all of the options, I dont think I would be able to live with the guilt of taking someone elses life no matter who it was.
