Could you kill one person to save two? or to save ten? or a thousand, what would be the amount for you and why

would you be able to do it? how would you decide or even justify the action? / or what could you do to survive? how far would you go with these questions

Answers:
Yes. I would kill as many people as it took to save my husband. As for strangers on the street, it would depend on the circumstances. As for how far would I go to survive.I'm not really sure you want to know my answer to this, but I would do whatever was necessary. I'll skip the details.
i would kill one person to save two. if its a criminal taking 2 people hostage i would put a bullet through the criminals skull no prob
actually kill one to save my a** !!(self-defense)
1, I could justify killing to save one person. I would be verry willing to give my own life (Killing myself if need be) to save even one other person.
Yes I would kill one to save just one child. So if it was to save more than one person yes I would most definitly. I would have killed those cyco terroist forsure if i had the chance to save all those poor people in the 9/11.
no. i could never make that decision. i don't believe in that "for the greater good" b.s. no one's life is worth more than anyone else's. i would die to save someone else, but that's something different altogether.
GEORGE BUSH
i cannot kill any one for anyone else until and unless the one who is killed for is not of human values.
I wud kill one (Blair) and save Millions!
In other words, does there exist a 'greater good'? I think it is difficult to weight the value of one life over another or over another two or over another million, without knowing the context. So for example, if I had a time machine and could travel to Germany before Hitler came to power, would killing Hitler then be justified? I am a man of peace, and I deeply respect all human life. So I would not hesitate to kill the son of a *****, and justify it as the greater good.
I need a real situation to employ, not a hypothetical one
i would kill 100 people if it would save my child's life.
people do it every day.
did you know we have a war going on?
Just as I would die for people I love and what I believe in, I would say "of course" if I had no other alternatives, I will do it in a heartbeat.
if it was a situation where someone younger than me a child for instance then i would give up my life to save theres doesnt matter how many children i would die for them.
Allow me to take this question to a higher level.
Would you kill a child, infant or toddler, if it meant saving a thousand lives?
What if you knew the child and its parents?
And before you start ragging on me, it's just a stupid question, I already know this.
Kind of like the original one. yes?
no cos no 1 knows the future ..and no 1 can punch some 1 for crime that it did not happened yet..but if it was in the moment then yes..self defend.
I don't think that I could kill another person even if it was to save many others. unless of course it was to save my kids and then I think I would be able to do whatever was needed to keep them safe.
It all depends on the circumstances. In the case of someone activly threatening others (e.g. hostage situation, terrorist attack,..) I don't think I would have to think for a second. However if the person were innocent(like a child carrying a contageous disease) I don't think I could do that
i would kill a million ppl to save one
Obviously no one would do it, because no one is doing it. Tobacco company executives aren't being assassinated every day. No one's spraying paraquat on tobacco fields.
yes
no killing
