If you where in a situation and it required you to take another persons life could you?

Answer 1

This is a very difficult question to answer. The easy answer is yes or no. I think it is a lot tougher than that. It would have to depend completely on the situation. I find that most people who say it the loudest will be the least likely to pull the trigger. Personally I would like to think that if the situation called for it I could. I would not be proud of it and i would not relish it. It would have been a necessary evil.

Answer 2

My profession demands that I be able to do so when needed.
I have not yet had to do this (though come close), but I know there is a good chance it will happen. I have no doubt in my mind that I can and would if it were necessary.
The majority of people do not have a natural capacity for violence.
Most military training is not physical condtioning, but psychological conditioning to overcome the natural resistance to taking human life.
For those who do have a natural capacity for violence, there are those with conscience, and those without.
Those without become the predatory criminals we all fear.
Those with become the warrior-protectors.

Answer 3

Well, I would kill Jigsaw without any hesitation if that were my situation, but you're probably talking about the real world, so it would depend.

Ya know, the more I think about it, the more unsure I am. Obviously I could to fulfill my military obligation, but I figure you mean it on a more personal level. It would really, really depend on the situation, but I would hope I would be able to do what's necessary to protect my family.

Answer 4

It depends on the situation and the person. If some big guy was coming at me with an axe, I could definitely shoot him. However, I would have a lot more trouble killing someone when it wasn't in self-defense or in defense of someone else.

Answer 5

I believe wholeheartly that "You shall not murder" but if I was put in a situation were I had to take another persons life in the commission of deadly force and for which I reasonably know and may assume would cause me or others serious bodily harm or death in the act of self defense or assault
"I WOULD WITHOUT HESITATION"

Answer 6

It depends on the situation. If I were in mortal danger and the only way out was to kill my attacker, then yes. That doesn't mean I wouldn't feel bad about it afterward or spend too much time replaying the senario in my head and second guessing myself.

Answer 7

That depends on the situation. If a person wanted me to help them end their life, no way would I do that. If my life was in jeopardy & I had to end a life to save mine, you bet. I learned that it may have come to that when working at an all male prison. When it comes to survival, we'll all do what it takes to survive.

Answer 8

Definately. I am not willing to allow someone to take my life or the lives of those I care about. As a soldier I know that this is a real possibility for me and I have accepted it.

Answer 9

yes, when you want to write yes for this question u will think, its not easy to forget loved person, but everything is in our hand, life will not end you will get the person who loves you. god, he is the creater, he knows what to give but believe me if you miss something you will get other which is better than the old that to up to you how you will take, when you watch in movie forgeting old love and hero or heroin accepted new love we enjoy but if it is in our case we will think atlast we will accept have to nothing is difficult in life to accept but we have to be careful by taking decision it should not repeat same mistake which we have done previous because heart is so sensitive it will not accept more people for love. love is very strong word sometime it will give strength and sometime it will make us die.

Answer 10

Yes, but I could only do it if it were a choice of "Whoever" and my Child. I would kill them stone dead without a thought.

Does that make me a crazy person.?
