[QUOTE=DoubleDD;36465873]I think, eventhough this is your opinion, you probably would do it if you had this choice. Surviving is just a human instinct. We do what we must to survive so given the chance, I'd say most people would kill another to save their own skin[/QUOTE] grade a psychologist folks just because hunger is 'human nature' doesn't mean i would kill someone holding a slice of cake
If it was someone I knew nothing about, then I probably would, though I would feel terrible about it for the rest of my life.
Im a coward, so yeah I would
Probably. I'm not selfless enough.
I don't think I would have the mental power to stomach killing my parents, but anyone else might be fair game. I hope it would be a fair fight, but I don't think I would have the power to control the situation

If we where using the same format as you it would be: "Would you kill somebody because you know you will eventually die?"
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;36470822]Wow, so if people don't feel the same way as you they must not have any friends, classy.[/QUOTE] no, [I]he[/I] doesnt, considering hes so ready to kill 'm off
If it's not anyone close to me, yes.

I wouldn't. [QUOTE=RagerTrader;36472400]I could never kill another person who means me no harm, even to save myself. Anyone who could/would is fucking psychopath. That includes just about everyone on the first page.[/QUOTE] Pretty much this.

I would because I'm an amazing person.
If there's no other option, then yes.
Of course i would, some african poor kid who has no family and is poor and has all the diseases and else, who would have no chances in life.
The thing is, if you didn't kill them. The guy would kill you and them so, technically it's a lose/lose situation. If it was a family member/someone I like or knew personally, I don't believe I could do it.
I probably would kill them yes. I feel that I have a lot to offer this world.

It depends on entirely who that person is.
Unless he sees everything your doing I would tell the person I have to kill to help me remove it or call for help but otherwise I would kill for my life.
Now here's something to change things up a bit, now that I've seen some interesting results: What if the other person asked you to? If they were willing to sacrifice themselves to save you, would you be willing to kill them?
This seems like a decision you could only make once presented with it outside of the hypothetical realm. No prediction because you wouldn't really know how exactly you would work under these circumstances.

Tbh it would amaze me to find someone who would rather die themselves than have a random guy killed instead.
Yes, no questions asked.

Depending on the person, yes. However, due to them having that amount of control over you, it is likely that they could just kill the person they have 'hired' you to kill with someone else, so resisting wouldn't exactly save their life.
Depends. Family member/loved one? Would probably have to think about it. The rest can fuck right off though [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=RagerTrader;36472400]I could never kill another person who means me no harm, even to save myself.[/quote] Bullshit. People like to pretend they're so civilized when it comes to life and death matters, as if they ever faced a situation even remotely similar to it. Guess what? Plenty of people say they wouldn't, but when they face the chop, 99% do it anyway. At least I don't bullshit myself with "Well, i'm [b]NOT[/b] part of that 99%" crap.

Yes, I hate to say it but when it comes down to survival, its a dog eat dog world.
