     OP - January 12, 2009, 03:33 PM
    This question was put to me, it teased my philosophical brain somewhat.

    I would have to say no, so sorry to the 10,000, but I'm very fond of my kids and I don't know you lot Smiley
    Ha Ha.

    Your childrens' lives aren't yours to take in the first place, so the answer has to be no whatever your personal feelings in the matter.

    Your own life is the only one you have any right to take, and I wouldn't take mine to save 10,000 or even a million.   Tongue

    Just vote for C if it matters to you who the 10,000 are.

    So you sack the kid, but will only consider it if others know *you* are making the sacrifice.

    True but silly as it does not apply to this question. You are the one with the gun and you are the One who has to make the decision.

    Your kid, or 10,000 Taliban. You kid, or 10000 Hezbolla Warriors. Your kid, or 10,000 chinese peasants. Or 10,000 african from impoverished Zaire. Or 10,000 people you really care about. or 10,000 random people.

    Personally I voted C. If my kid was to join the military to go bust some loons, I will not put a strong objection. If that is not sacrifice then what is.

    I prefer to stick to the slightly older name. Why bother memorizing a new name that is going to change very soon, eh?

    Abraham was willing to kill his son because he heard a voice from the sky with no intent of even saving any other lives. It was just to please his rather sick God.

    Some people kill their children because they dishonour the family, and they do not have the satisfaction of saving thousands as a reward.

    But for me it would be a definite No.

    Don't think I have the right to make such a decision regarding another's life.

    Definitley not, even if it was a random child.  If you kill one child, that would turn you into a murderer.  Whereas not saving (as the question is phrased) 10000 lives, would not.

    You are still condemning 10,000 to death so that does make you responsible.
