Poll: A moral dilemma - kill ten to save yourself?

[Paksenarrion]

Trace the signal back to the source of the voice, use the Force to choke the controller, rescue the people on the other side, find out who put me in this situation in the first place and place them in a similar situation, except instead of 10 random people, it is all of their friends, family, and/or everyone they care about.

BWAHAHA! you've fallen right into my trap! the man that was speaking to you was an innocent person that i forced into speaking for me!

anyways, i would kill them, and then commit suicide so that' i could find them in the afterlife and apologize for killing them,

Kuso! Damn you, L! Very well. We shall see who outsmarts the other.

Ethical disregard seems common on these forums.

Yes. Kill them all. I know it sounds cold, but screw those I don't know, I am more concerned with the one I know more than any other, myself.

My thoughts exactly, that and your avatar makes it so much funnier honestly

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

I like myself more than I like most strangers so I'd go with myself.

You said imaginary game, right? This is my imaginary answer.

You know, if i were to make a list of the things that annoyed me most on these forums, people dodging questions when there´s no possibility of doing so would stand pretty high.

Capiche?

You know what really grinds my gears? People who take imaginary games seriously. Cat fish?

You know what´s a pain in my arse? People who don´t take SERIOUS questions, you know, seriously. Fatta´ru?

meh, I find ethics easier to logic when it deals with me personally. Now if it were my friend or 10 strangers or 1 child or 10 elderly adults or something like that I would find myself in a predicament.

I'm not insensitive. I'd feel bad for killing them, but I have my life ahead of me. As selfish as it is, I'd want to continue living it.

Let us play a little game where it is you and others with animal masks on. You only know each person by their animal. You then have to vote to decide who to kill and who to let live while interacting with eachother forming friendships and enemies.

It depends.

Are those ten people the same individuals that continually make moral dilemma threads?

 

[emeraldrafael]

If your deaf and blind, there's no real moral hang up, since you wont see or hear it.

However, since I am not, I'll refuse. I'll play his hand and make us sit and wait. whats going to happen, we'll all die? With the amount of people missing, odds are the cops are looking, and somebody had to see something. so I'll wait it out.

Can't wash away innocent blood but, well, being complete strangers doesn't help their cause.

You have only scratched the surface.

Ive seen entire ethical arguments derailed from 'should they live?' into 'how should we kill them?' or 'How many will we kill?'.

Inevitable as it is the internet. And the greater part of the forums tends to be populated by Hikikomoris [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hikikomori] than normal people. And by normal people, I mean gamers. Myself included.

Our common sense will vary from person to person, but we are all ethically bankrupt.

 

[YawningAngel]

Nope. Rather kill myself then deal with the guilt.

But you can always kill yourself later if the guilt is too much for you. In any case, you aren't the one responsible for their deaths.

 

[kasperbbs]

As evil as it might be i would want to keep on living, i would rather feel guilt but at least i would still feel something.

None of you know what real guilt feels like, do you?

 

[josemlopes]

I could choose to kill myself if they saw me saving them, I should be remembered after the corageous act.
