<p>lol we had this class discussion about killing one to save people and I got completely ganged up on. Apparently killing someone is never morally justified unless it is in self defense. Oh, but it is ok to kill a bad man. Ahahaha</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, the moral of the movie in the end was to show that that mentality is wrong, but. . .</p>
<p>I think as long as it’s your own life and not anyone else’s, who’s to tell you what to do?</p>
<p>nope. what if i’m the person who could cure cancer by living and researching? ;)</p>
<p>No.
Besides, if I could cure one disease, it would be Alzheimer’s/ related conditions.</p>
<p>what’s funny is i’d die to cure cancer.
but i wouldn’t live to cure cancer (become a bio major, spend my life working in a smelly lab, …)
somehow death seems preferable to that fate
maybe if it was guaranteed that i’d discover something i would, but i think i’d curse every minute of my existence</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I thought schizophrenia was more or less treatable with simple medication.</p>
<p>hellz no. sorry, but i’m selfish. NOW if i were extremely ill or extremely handicapped/disabled, sure.</p>
<p>I’d do it in a second.</p>
<p>How could you honestly live with yourself knowing that, throughout your lifetime, hundreds of millions of people died at your expense?</p>
<p>Please don’t make the argument that it wouldn’t be your fault as you’d certainly be indirectly responsible.</p>
<p>Those of you saying that you’d gladly die after a full life strike me as astonishingly selfish and conceited.</p>
<p>I understand that some of you have reasons that you wrongly consider legitimate, but honestly…</p>
<p>Lets talk about how your death could cure cancer? This is a dumb argument because it’s not even possible.</p>
<p>im pretty sure someone would find a way to kill me if my death would cure cancer.</p>
<p>Not a chance. And besides, how could any self-respecting supporter of VHEMT do this?!?!</p>
<p>Only if somehow at the instant of my death, cancer would just magically automatically be cured… preferably if there is a “poof” sound involved. If it’s like that, then yes.</p>
