Just a hypothetical question my friends and I like to bounce around.
If someone offered you $5 million to run over a baby at 100mph...would you do it?
Why or Why Not?!

That's a good morale dilemma right there.
Tons of cash and all you have to do is kill a baby who doesn't even know what's going on.
I'd like to think I could say a straight up no, but $5 million is a lot of money and would make a guy set for life if he wasn't stupid with it.
I totally get what the point of this question is, despite people TOTALLY taking it way too seriously.
I guess I'm going to go with maybe and feel completely ashamed about it, as I'm assuming is kind of the point.
PS: Do the dude who mentioned the baby splatter...that's f'd up right there!

Who's baby? Are there consequesnces besides $5 million? Does anyone have to know besides the person paying me, the baby, and me? Because $5 million isn't as much fun added to a lifetime in prison and your family and friends disowning you for running over a baby.
I would do it IF I could get away with it unscathed (you know, besides my conscience and soul) and $5 million richer. I would probably be disgusted with myself forever and cry all the time, but I can weep more comfortably in a mansion than my one bedroom apartment.
Bring on the thumbs down, this wasn't meant to be a serious question or serious answer. My sense of humor is just as disgusting as the Questioner's (I know I know, it shouldn't be funny... but the surrealism makes it so).

Of course not, this is crazy !!
I wouldn't do it not for any amount at money nor for anything else..
I would run over the one who offered me these 5 millions..
and what does at 100mph mean?

If this is the most profound question you and your friends could come up with, you obviously don't have enough to do. That you would even propose something like this, verbally, let alone in writing, is disgusting. You watch too much junk on TV.
Have you ever heard the joke about the man who asked a woman, on the first date, if she would sleep with him for a million dollars? She thought it over, and finally said, yes, she would. He said, would you sleep with me for TEN dollars, and she screamed TEN DOLLARS!!! What do you think I am???? To which he replied, we have already established what you are....now we are negotiating price.
I think you and your friends are in the role of the woman.

Eh, thats a lot of money, but even though, after receiving the money I would hate myself for doing what I did so much that I might not be the same for the rest of my life. So whats the point? Your question is more like, Work for a living, or become mentally scarred for the rest of your llife.

Wow, let me see, is murder for hire wrong? Yes, I think that it is. Nope, not for 10 million or a billion.
Now once I told my wife I would sell our children for all the money in the world. She said how could I say that. I said, if I had all the money in the world, I could hire an army and kidnap them back.
Honestly, I could not kill without justification, like my family or even myself was in danger.

This is really drawing quite the sh!t storm, isn't it?
I think this isn't meant to be a real question. It's like the game "Who Would You Rather Bone?"
And your options are like George Burns (I know he's dead) or Dick Cheney (I think he might be dead)...
So sure...why not. I assume the 100mph is to ensure some serious splatter?

Do I know the baby?
Perhaps the baby has hurt someone in my family, or done something else? Is it dying of an incurable disease? Perhaps it gave me a dirty look - give me something here!
Otherwise - no.

Since you are one of the conspirators because you posed the question, I could get you for premeditated murder.
