ok, i was in english today and i was bored, so i was thinking and thinking.
If killing one innocent people will make ten other people's otherwise extremely miserable life around... would you vote yes? what if it's killing one innocent people and save the LIFE of ten others? i don't know, it's really hard, reminds me of the lady and the tiger story. I am asking for you all's opinions |

i dont think there are supposed to be polls on debate.
and no i dont think that... it can be true but there millions and billions of people out there and someone dies in the world every 10th of second. and the other people in the world are probably have their luck turned around. so i dont think the reason for someone dying is the case its just there is a lot of people in the world so chances are someone dies, and someone gets lucky. |

why's this in debate?
QUOTE If killing one innocent people will make ten other people's otherwise extremely miserable life around... depends on the people's love/hate on him/her. QUOTE what if it's killing one innocent people and save the LIFE of ten others? thats like a superhero sacrificing himself to save a city.. this is a matter of physiology (not psycology). Physiology (for those who dont know), is the study of how humans live. interesting class pplz should take in college. |

it depends .. or maybe its hard for me to choose. its pretty hard to chose whether that person should died or not. its not right to take someone's life unless that innocent person want to died for them or sick of living. i unno .. its hard to decide ...

This is actually a weirdly worded question. "One innocent people" how do you who is innocent? Who should die? How are they determined. In theory no one deserves to die at the hands of another man unless a conflict is presented.

just because the sacrifice will benefit others doesn't mean it won't affect other people, it might deeply hurt 10 other people if that person dies, no one should be sacrificed
i had this in english a few months ago and somewhere else last year |

Btw, its person not people. You cannot have 1 people. =P
Back to the subject, how can you kill 1 innocent person, and save 10 people's lives. The only ones that will be saved is the murder and his/her friends. If you kill one innocent person, and make others miserable, than thats pretty self explanatory. |

ok just assume that these are completely innocent people who are unrelated.
See, if you kill the innocent person, then you would save the other 10 innocent people's lives, but if you don't, you killed 10 innocent people, i mean, it's immoral in either way |

You actually can have 1 people... like the world can be categorized as 1 people, although it sounds weird it is grammatically correct. |

how about this?
let's say you were a german in nazi germany, and didn't like the holocaust. you hid 11 jewish people in your attic. you try to transport them to a cave outside of town. however, in the transportation process (you hid them in various things) one of them starts drawing attention of nazi guards. he's claustrophobic and is freaking out. you have two options. you can either help him out of the box he's in so he can run away. and the nazis will catch the other 10 or you can pretend he hid in your box and turn him into the nazis when they come (they're walking down the street to you right now) which one? |

Noone should die, there must be a way for all of them to leave together...

The other 10.... eventually I will think of something to help them |

One innocent PERSON. Person.
Lmao Mindy, lmao. Erf err. I can't decide. I guess I would choose the saving of ten people's lives. What if the ten people are innocent too? Then it doesn't weigh out. |

I dont see the point to do so. But if they're willing too.... then.... ah, this is a hard question. I don't know what I would say. I can only make this choice if I'm faced with this situation.

I think this is a hard decision too, but it all depends on the circumstances. Who's involved, what is the situation...etc. No matter though, I wouldn't want to deal death out lightly.
