Would you kill an innocent person to...

[Lewis]

Depends on if there's legal repercussions or not but yes to #1 regardless

No legal issues, you'd never be caught or found out unless you wanted to be. This is more of a moral question, not a question regarding consequences.

[David]

assuming i don't know the innocent people in question;
yes,
yes,
yes,
not my problem.

This question reminds me of the 2009 film 'The Box'. It was crap but raised some good questions

1. Of course. Nobody is going to offer their life for mine unless they're an idiot, in which case it's better that they die.

2. If it was my friend's decision to allow me to do so then yes.

3. Above

4. Certainly.

These are all taking into account that no other variables have been added (repercussions, type of people, et c)

Just out of interest for ppl who voted yes, what if the situation were reversed: someone else is choosing to kill you off to save themselves/a member of their family/a friend of their's?
Off the top of my head @Kyle; @hairpins; @David; replied yes

Also why is whether or not they're "innocent" so important? What would u define as innocent? Surely no one is truly innocent, we've all done something wrong in life? Why do you value the lives of the "innocent" above those who are "guilty"? Does a crime such as theft make you less of a human than someone who has not stolen something?

Also @Lewis; what would you do as it's your thread?
