Would You Pull The Trigger?

[~Shaymin~]

AAAAAAAAH YOUR GIVING ME A HEADACHE! O_o

IDK!!

You can shoot him without killing him. I'd shoot him in the knees a few times. Most likely wouldn't kill him, but... yeah.

Unless for some reason that could actually cause him to kill half a million people, then I probably would.

You could have said that he was a baby at the time also, just to throw another moral conflict in. xD

I'll put the gun to his head and tell him to write the fricking cure, then when he does, shoot him anyway and claim fame.

...Genius. xD

 

[The Real AAA]

um no like one of the poll answers says "No, millions will be saved from cancer"

 

[Klingon]

Yeah, if they done damage to me or my family; or even my freinds.

Lets say that you have the chance to kill a person that you know in the future will kill Five hundred thousand people, lets also say that this person will find the cure for three types of cancer.

1. Lung cancer
2. Heart cancer
3. Brain cancer

Few things...
How on earth would you be able to go into the future, you're not Hiro.. XD
More importantly how would a someone who discovers a cure for cancer be a maniac mass muderer... If he was just a crazed muderer and did nothing positive for humanity, then yeah it would make sense to get rid of him.
There is a cure for almost all lung cancers... It's not to smoke. 90% of lung cancer cases comes from people who smoke. To some extent, it's their own fault, they damage theirselves and others around them.
Heart cancers are one of the rarest cancers possible, which if they do occur are usually harmless. The cure for brain tumours would be worthwhile, however.

Eitherway, if a maniac could find out the cure.. so could anyone. A cure for some types was found in the past 4 months, but nobody is paying much attention. I'd shoot him, then use my super time machine go into the future, get the cure and bring it back.. Easy.

No way whatsoever!!!...It's too scary.

 

[viridian doubletongue]

I'd shoot myself. The person would be so traumatised that they'd never be able to kill someone. Ever.

 

[Captain Arcane]

Yes, why have people killed that don't even have cancer, then while that guy tries to find the cure, more people would be dying from cancer are dying. The number of people killed and died from him and by cancer would be staggering. Plus, less people die from cancer every year.

So yes, I would pull that trigger.

 

[Tangerine Fox]

Enh -- Capture, detain, and work with from a safe area to cure cancer. I could kill if I absolutely had to, but the situation here has other alternatives. If you can somehow tell he will do both things, change the set up to avoid the bad and still find the cure. No need to risk the group of people's lives if you can manage to get the same result elsewhere.

 

[Avolition]

It doesn't matter. We as humans don't have the RIGHT to decide if those 500,000 lives are more valueable then those 7 million. They aren't toys.

Humans are not good enough to decide matters of life. At least not so easily. Only God can. If you don't beieve in God, it still stands that we as humans are not good enough to say "his life is worth more than hers".

Depends on who they are.. as for me, I probably wouldn't. I mean, if you shoot him, you go to jail, and millions more die. If you don't, you're fine, and less people die. You can't possibly say having 500,000 people die is worse than millions. And I'd probably rather be shot by someone than get cancer myself.

EDIT: And what if he only shoots, like, escaped convicts, or other people who are murderers or other bad people?

 

[Crazy Weavile]

No- mathmatically, I'd guesstimate at least 20 million (probably far more, it's a rough guess) suffer from those cancers. 500,000 is a quarter of that. Ergo, it makes more logical sense not to pull the trigger.
