Morality Question

[Stoic raptor]

nooooooooooo. who knows, there could be an innocent baby behind the door

 

[Spamcar]

I would pull the trigger, take the money and leave. Without knowing what's on the other side.

 

[Ultress]

I don't think I could, I know the moment I said no that it would turn out to be a chocolate cake or something.Still that possibility that it was someone I actually cared about or any innocent person would kill me inside.

 

[Golden Gryphon]

I might do it. I'd need a better reason than just 'here's a million dollars' though. Why is it so important that I fire the gun?

 

[magicmonkeybars]

sure why not ?

 

[ZSF]

I would pull the shit out of that trigger.

 

[Connor Lonske]

Never, and if the person in the other room has the same deal than no.

 

[LewsTherin]

No, Murder isn't worth it.

 

[Pinguin]

To my mind that's nowhere near enough information to make a moral decision. Who is this person? How did we get in this situation? Where are these rooms? Is there any indication of what's beyond the door (sounds, smells?)

Not a very good question really.

Reminds me of the superb short film "The Black Button".

they are making a full-length movie like this.

 

[ohellynot]

Sure I would. I could just blame him if it ended up me murdering someone, and still keep the 1 million.

likewise, i suppose most 9 th graders wouldn't think of that, unless they were very bad peeps

 

[WayOutThere]

fuck no I wouldn't do it

 

[spuddyt]

Basically this question is "Would you kill for money?"

Actually, this is a question of: would you kill for money, if you didn't have to bear responsibility. To which my answer is yes.

 

[XenthenK]

No, because, if this man is paying me to do this, chances are he wants someone/something eliminated without his own hands even getting the slightest bit dirty, and I can't support whatever he might have been involved in.

 

[Davey Woo]

I'd either not do it. Or I'd do it instantly, without a second thought, and cast the thought from my mind, hopefully forever, (difficult I know) so long as I didn't have to find out who or what I'd killed on the other side.

 

[Nmil-ek]

No too high a risk factor for too little payoff, a million ain't alot of money anymore maybe 20+ years of comfortable living? but if that number goes up by another digit then without thinking.
