As per title

straight up yes. (that is if i could bring myself to do it, i dont count pussying out as saying no)

how old are the 100 people?

No. I couldn't do it, not saying it's right or wrong, I just don't think I could kill a child.

Pretty sure I've read about this situation, maybe Plato, can't remember what those chaps said.

Also, the kid has a future, are you talking about 100 OAPs? (not that I'd happily kill old people )

Depends a little on the 100 people, as DRTY said... I'd like to think I'd make the "right" decision, but I seriously doubt I could bring myself to kill a human that wasn't about to kill me.

What age would be acceptable to let them die?

Well like said above, if they are closer to a natural time of death (70-90 say), they have had a long life behind them where as the baby has not had that opportunity. Shoe on the other foot and someone was pointing a gun at me or kill a baby, I'd take it and I'm not even middle aged yet.

I'd only kill the child if he/she was an ungrateful whiny little brat. I've got no time for that.

You'd give your life for a random baby?

Could be a baby Hitler.

Tough question really, i dont agree in killing but that said some people do deserve to die.

Yeah I probably would if push came to shove. At the end of the day, I can imagine one death being on my conscious being 'easier' than a hundred.

Still, I ain't Jack Bauer, so I'll never have to make this choice.

Fairly sure Jack Bauer never killed a child.

But it could be the next Da Vinci, Darwin or Einstein I think thats why we don't burn the cot of a new born that has a monobrow.

It says, to 'save the life of 100 people'... so that means:

option 1 - kill a child

option 2 - let a child live knowing that decision would mean 100 people die (not by your hands)

Kill them all and get away scott free...

If I had to pick anyone, Jack Bauer would most likely get himself in this situation. He'd then shoot up some Heroin and then go cry on David Palmers grave.

what happens if you refuse to participate? The tnuc that put you in this situation is the one doing wrong anyhoo. Don't kill anyone

Actually you would be tried for manslaughter and accessory to murder
and conspiracy to cause harm in a court (I think.)

I would not kill the child (or any person) willingly, but I wholeheartedly believe 1 persons life is worth 100 if somebody else was to kill them.

A more stressful question is would you kill yourself to save the life of 100 people?
