Could you take another person's life if you new they had committed a horrible crime?

[Fox]

I could. I have no emotional or physical limitation preventing me from doing so. However, I wouldn't, because I don't feel their death in any way rectifies the wrong done, and thus is not justice at all.

I can understand from a hypothetical point of view why many governments execute criminals, because they aren't really in the business of justice, but rather are in the business of deterrence, and feel -- rightly or wrongly -- that the death penalty serves as an effective deterrent. That's not anything I'm interested in being party to.

as a US taxpayer i have been supporting killing for many years. the difference between paying for it and actually doing it are minimal.

If it were someone near and dear to me, and I knew I would not get caught...then....maybe.

[sarahsiobhan]

...sigh...ignore the above....I misread the OP......going to bed now.

Sorry.

I've thought about this before. I think I could kill someone if I felt they deserved it, but when I think about disposing of the body, I get squeamish. I mean, cutting through all the bones, putting the body into bags? The worst part would be all the blood though.

As much as I like the show (and I do), I prefer the Batman way of doing things.

[Forward Observer]

Absolutely. And they wouldn't even have to have committed a horrible crime either

[Goku]

I could willingly if I knew the person didn't suffer from psychological anti social behavior or learned it from their environment.

If that person fits neither of those requirements and did a heinous act, I would want him dead off the planet because his genetics would be so selfish and would deleterious for humanity.

Our species must be clear and pure of dirt and they are merely enemies to the human species... at that point not even human.

You need to watch the movie "Sniper" starring Tom Berringer and Billy Zane. It's not too far from the truth. When it comes right down to it philosophizing about pulling a trigger and actually doing it at the moment are worlds apart. There are reasons that when a person is lethally injected they have multiple people pressing the buttons (all dummies but one) because of the psychological angst persons can feel after the fact knowing that they had killed someone.

Yeah but that's defining it in terms of HOW we would kill him.

If it was a simple, yes and no verbal confirmation I could do it easily. If it was a button I'd be pressing it again and again.

But if the man is physically in front of me and I have to shoot him, there's going to be some obvious second doubts about doing it. I can see his eyes, feel his emotions and everything. Even though he isn't really human.... he's still a human.

It's a good question to ask. OP What is the premise behind the methodology of delivery for his demise?
