Forums → The Tavern → Kill a Man, Save the Planet?

The way I see it, that person is going to either die by the planet being destroyed, or by me killing him. If it comes down to that, I figure it would be best to take that person out without bringing everyone else down with him.

well i know osama bin laden if i kill him i just saved billion and uh 1000 from osama

I will kill one man for saving the planet..
But i will not kill a random person i will kill a dying man.
Because he is about 2 minutes to die.. So i can just kill him.

I'd kill someone... it's too obvious. Next question please.

It depends...who would you kill and how would you have to do it?
Also, before I would take someone's life for the greater good of the planet, I'd have to at least ask them first, otherwise that wouldn't be right (not that it's necessarily right anyway).

Save the planet, it's not the best question... Just because you know some one doesn't mean you like them.

Thats a really tricky person i would do it but i'd do it in the nicest way possible and with the persons consent

I would kill a person only if they chose to die for all of the billions of people on the planet.

I'd walk into a hospital and get to know the patients that are terminally ill, then ask them if they would like to sacrifice themselves to save the people of the world.
That way, it gives them a chance to make up their mind about doing it, and not me overriding their will.

I would find someone I can persuade to be killed... probably someone terminally ill? I find it ridiculous killing someone that doesn't want to be a sacrifice.

I'll just leave it at that. This scenario is a bit barebones. It seems any bugger on the verge of pushing daisies counts as a valid choice.

[quote=EnterOrion]It's a him or me thing. I'd kill him in the most brutal way possible, since it's likely him blowing us up.[/quote]

I forget why I hold you in such high esteem sometimes.

I would have no choice but to kill him or else billions would die

If I don't kill the person and Earth is doomed, then the person dies anyway.

Even so, no.
I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

A simple answer for a simple question...YES....I would..Put It Like This...All Of Us Including Him/Her Or Just Him/Her >=)

I would pull the trigger. Rather let 1 men die then the whole population. Except him.

If it was something they would be responsible for, I'd try persuasion and force, but if it was clear their action would kill, who cares about the rest of the world, kill ME, then if all else fails, then they've got to go!
