I am working on vaccines for some of the most deadly viruses that God ever brought forth from hell. Thankfully, they have not yet found their way to human or primate populations.
Anyway, here's the problem:
There are days when I go to work and wonder what would happen if I screwed up the protocol, if I failed to pay attention to what I was doing, thus releasing the beast. The most destructive force in the history of life on this planet would be unleashed and man would finally know the totallity of hell on Earth.
I have sworn that if I failed my duty, I would first try to resolve the problem and protect the people of this Earth from near certain extinction. Once the problem was resolved, I would determine the aftermath. If there was a death toll consisting of innocent people, I would take my own life without hesitation.
Likewise, if I ever became infected with a certain one of the viruses, I would throw myself into an incinerater.
Is this suicide a moral plan?
