ORIGINAL: angelikaJ I don't know if this would be considered a derailment and if it is, please disregard it. What IF in pushing the button, someone might or might not die? Or what if it was a random "bad person"? Naughty, naughty derailer.... Hmm. No to your first scenario... just like I wouldn't point a gun at someone, not knowing if a bullet was in it. Probably no to your second one, unless I KNEW who and what they were. Hitler? Yes. Pol Pot? Sure. But what if the person that would die would have all their organs going to people on transplant lists so that you saved the lives of 6 people and 1 persons eyesight? Then would you push the button?
