I won't do your moral philosophy homework for you.

But yeah, probably not unless I had some motivation that they deserved a quick death.



I'm about to turn 40 and not in school.

What if it was your child or someone else you loved deeply?

Yes, but only if they desperately asked me to first. And they'd probably already have to be a bit F'ed up from some torture already, too.

What a horrible scenario... but I would ask someone to do it for me, and would hope that a loved one would kill me to save me that kind of suffering too.

If it was some old school Vietnam pow camp type torture then yes i would have no problem with killing them. if it was some wimpy stuff like now with truth serum and water boarding then no.

I would hope that there would be some opportunity for rescue and/or escape during this lengthy period, and I wouldn't want to just end it quick for them to find out someone was working to free them.
