A Very Difficult Decision

[Zildjin81]

I'd take the shot.

Who says that there isn't at least one pregnant woman being held hostage?

 

[ChaosReaver]

As unfortunate as it sounds, the woman would have to die. If it was me that had to pull the trigger, i would be really messed up after that. I don't harm women and/ or defenseless people. But if its her or 30 others, then the choice is obvious.

 

[Kellerb]

yes. two lives for thirty. anyone who doesn't is too...careful.

 

[WafflesandBacon]

it would hurt me but i would shoot her and him/her

 

[Neonbob]

Wait, emotionally?
I was going off of plain logic.
The world usually works better for you that way.

I was going off what I think he was intending.

But there are just a million better dilemmas that could be thought up in a manner of seconds.

Ohhh. Right.
I hope this does not become a wave of "difficult question" threads...

The needs of many outweigh the needs of few.

So, so true.
A crazy woman decides to put 30 other lives in danger, not including her own or her child. I don't think I would hesitate for a second about making my choice. Cruel or not.

 

[BrownGaijin]

A strange situation. But yes I would take the shot.

Mhm. Not only that, but who's to say she wouldn't use the child as something to kill with? Not as a weapon, but as bait. I'd kill her without a thought. But why would a trained sniper be patrolling a bank at the exact time a crazy woman threatens to kill 30 people?

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Besides that, she should've thought of her unborn child BEFORE threatening 30 people.

This. This is why I'd take the shot.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

What weapon does she have? Gun, knife, scimitar.

EDIT: It'll help my course of action.

Well if she has a Scimitar, that would be an awesome sight, a heavily pregnant swordswoman.

Though subdividing her with a .50 cal would be a bit cowardly no? I say call her out and duel it.

Maybe he was in on it from the beginning. The woman is really his former partner, as they are both renowned criminals, wanted for thefts across the world. She rips him off, and on a suicidal tangent, infiltrates the bank alone, and deliberately blows her cover.

I call it.. "Crazy woman who rips off her former partner goes into a bank and doesn't make it out alive."
Rolls off the tongue, no?

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

DOn't feel bad, I heard the fetus is racist.

I heard the fetus doesn't care about black people.

And yes, yes I would.

Yes, yes it does. If I was him, though, I'd walk in, kill her, and rob the bank myself. Save people, and get rich!

 

[darthzew]

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few... or the one. Therefore, I'd take the shot. It's a pity the child has to die, but the mother should have thought of that before getting herself into this situation.

I do it without guilt as I leave this fact: the child is her responsibility, not mine.

 

[Baggie]

Take her out. As has been said, numbers don't lie.

I'm thinking.. Vacation in Madagascar to lie low?

Wait, no. Chris Rock is there..

I find, in all situations in life, the most effective, and the most satisfying course of action is always, without question, clingfilm their shitepan.

 

[Mcface]

why is that even a hard decision?

Shoot the *****.

and what would a 7 month pregnant woman be doing with a military assault wepaon? this thread is just stupid, sorry.

 

[UpSkirtDistress]

wow how original and thought provoking.....
seriously I'm no of real violence and the idea of taking a life seems wrong to me but anyone who found themselves in that ridiculous situation would shoot ...especially if your a trained sniper ,they don't train snipers to wound.

 

[Mcface]

I'd shoot her.

And not to thread jack you or anything, but I know of one that's a good deal harder:

"You are an emergency worker that has just been called to the scene of an accident. When you arrive you see that the car belongs to your wife. Fearing the worst you rush over to see she is trapped in her car with another man.

She sees you and although barely conscious, she manages to mouth the words ''I'm sorry''...

You don't understand, but her look answers you question. The man next to her is her lover with whom she's been having an affair.

You reel back in shock, devastated by what her eyes have just told you. As you step back, the wreck in front of you comes into focus. You see your wife is seriously hurt and she needs attention straight away. Even if she gets attention there's a very high chance she?ll die.

You look at the seat next to her and see her lover. He's bleeding heavily from a wound to the neck and you need to stem the flow of blood immediately. It will only take about 5 minutes to stop, but it will mean your wife will definitely die.

If you tend to your wife however, the man will bleed to death despite the fact it could have been avoided.

Who would you choose to work on?"



I'd personally work on my wife, despite the fact that they'll both probably die if I did....

edit: sorry, double post
