why does it matter if it's a child or not? Am I not as equal a human being than a child? But responding to your question, I would only kill a human being to save many more if that person understood why he has to die and if he agreed to die by my hands. A child would probably not understand that, so I wouldn't kill it. It also depends greatly on the situation, I'd rather not make any further generalizations.

No i would not kill a child to save humanity.
A child is humanity and i belive we are an unstoperbal plague
and will never die out so i think the question is void imo.

Easier said than done if you don't have that natural killer no-conscience instinct. The act will get into your brain and eat you alive.

This is no mere thought experiment. All of you war supporters are already condoning this very thing in Iraq: killing children (collateral damage) for "the greater good".

Quote:
Being eternally skeptical, I fail to see how such an act could save humanity - I could never be convinced of this. Additionally, I find the killing of the innocent to be immoral. I would not do it. It is not my place to save humanity, it cannot be done by abandoning the qualities of being humane.
It is a common tactic of those with neither fact nor logic on their side to appeal to hard cases.
As it is said, "Hard cases make bad law."
And hypotheticals, while intellectually stimulating, don't really teach us anything. Except, perhaps, a frightful view into the human heart.
Good point.

I wouldn't kill even a fruitfly to save the human race. The human race is responsible for saving itself.

depending on what 'saving humanity' ment...if it ment that all the people in the world would finly be at peace, and we could all live peacefuly togeather, than yes, i would kill a child.
but, if it just ment saving humans, only for them to carry on they're daily lives, than i dont' think i could do it...
i know not all people are bad...but personaly...i think the earth would be a lot better off without us...

Yes, but would you molest a child to save the Holy Roman Catholic Church?

Yeah, it depends on the meaning of save.
if save meant ushering in a new golden age of love and freedom than yes I would.

A great question iG. And an even better one is, "Would you allow yourself to be killed to save the human race?"

Haha Murex about the fucking the old man for a billion dollars...ummm...I have to admit....I would :S....(loose skin and old balls...gross*Big Daddy*).The whole child killing, that I'm not sure of, I guess I'd actually have to be put in the position and decide then....right now, being a chick, I don't think I could. And if I did...I probably couldn't live with myself afterwards and I'd have to off myself.

Ya. Michael Jackson looks like one of the few people out there who I'm pretty sure I could beat up, so if he tried any shit w/ me, I'd just beat the shit out of him.
