Question
 

If somebody whom you knew had AIDS and was intending to infect many others with the disease, would you kill him/her in order to save the lives of the potential victims?


(i'll post up the purpose of this question later on)

That's some serious resident evil type shit. The shit of it is, if it was someone I cared about, then other people can go to hell for all I care.

I'd nailgun his fucking face, holla!

No? I'd just tell someone important about it so they can stop them.

Lmfao @ no one considering that. What a sick world.

Id join him on his aids infecting rampage. :evilgrin:

ok the reason i posed this question is because a few days ago i read in the paper that scientists found that people who had damage in the part of the brain that caused empathy all said they would kill the friend.personally i think maybe its good 2 have that part damaged cos from the looks of things empathy and logical thinking don't always go hand in hand

>:0 are you saying I'm not logical? That's rediculous, If I wasn't logical would I be able to ignore more important things and completly dwell on emotional attachments :evil:

once you detach your mind from emotions you will see clearly young grasshopper :high:

But wouldn't I need emotioal attachment to my desire of inner peace and nirvana to achieve this :(

one cannot achieve nirvana while thoughts exist in the mind...the desire to achieve nirvana is ultimately your cause of not having realised nirvana :high:

So basically I was better off never being born at all. :( I shall commiteth suicide now. THANKS DARKMAN :D

*opens gas chamber door*

now you understand :evil:

do you know what empathy is?

empathy is one of the best qualities a person can hanve

so you don't believe in certain circumstances empathy would hold you back from logical actions?

thats not a logical conclusion, cause your gonna end up paying for it

tell somebody who can do something about it you cock

who the fuck you calling a cock you little piece of shit?

save your childish bullshit insults for another thread this is a grown folk issue...

ok lemme give an example

you know someone who has a gun and plans on going into th nearest mall and murdering as many people as possible. you know logically that by time the police got there he would have murdered quite a few innocent people.

now lets say for the sakeof the argument, that you also have a gun and you're quicker off the draw than he is...

would you shoot him to prevent the deaths of many people?

fyi empathy works both ways...if you let him kill all those people you aren't showing the innocent victims empathy because you would have chosen to let them die even though if you had been in their shoes you would have wanted someone to kill the shooter before he killed you....

and as for telling someone who can do something about it...if the authorities ended up killing the person in question then you would be morally responsible for his death....

the question was not about crime and punsihment it was about morals
