Quote:But maybe I'll ask this: is there anything you'll kill for?Pragmatically, I have no idea when I would kill. Never been presented with such a choice, not sure how I'd fare. But philosophically...
I'd kill to prevent more killing. I'd kill if I was convinced it was necessary to keep civilization going, especially the preservation and production of knowledge. I'd kill to prevent a sufficiently horrible atrocity, like the torturing of innocent people.
But, the key even in all those situations, is that I would only kill under fair certainty that those would definitely be the consequences of my not killing.
