People claim they are logical that they do the logical thing. If it is rational then it is ok to do . So would you allow themselves to be killed if it was rational and logical that you must be killedl

No, the will to survive overcomes logic. Logically.

The 'proof' could be 100% certain, but I doubt any premise ever is. So it's not logic that's at fault, it's the formulation of the premises that leads to the 'necessary' conclusion.
If you believed in all the premises I doubt you'd fight against the conclusion.
But mostly, such resignation is outside logic. Or logic isn't even necessary. If you've been detained in deplorable, dehumanizing circumstances, had a gun pointed in your face, treated like scum, muscles atrophied and there's an army of soldiers ready to beat your face in, you'd come to prefer a swift shooting or decapitation. The gun commands, you submit. It's very animal and automatic.

Interesting question. I guess there are some circumstances that it is 'logical' for me to be killed. Maybe euthanasia if I am in pain, sure. If my death means the survival of many others, sure. But you better tell me first!!! I'd like the chance to agree or not.

It depends on the rationale and logic that you are following. If killing saves the rest of mankind? Dig my grave. If killing brought you a million dollars? I'd kill you just for thinking about killing me for money. Because I know why you'd want to kill me.

Only if they can logically catch me and then logically try to kill me without a fight.....logically.

No because history has proven again and again, what is rational today could be irrational tomorrow.

Why should I trust my life to your logic?

I think I would get the most out of the day ...and then do something that might be really fun but happen to result in death.

interesting. Well to how my head has been manipuled, broken, fixed and disensitized. I wouldn't care if that had to happen.
This is the coolest question I have seen.
