Would you shoot your kin?
Dec 20 2010, 1:35 AM EST
If my: mother; father; sister; brother; girlfriend; wife; bestfriend; boyfriend; husband; son; daughter; relative; pet; etc. was bitten, I would immediately blow their f***ing brains out. I would blow out my brains if I was bit, too. I have no huge emotions in this sort of thing. I feel remorse, sure, but that doesn't stop me.What I am wondering is how many of you would not hesitate to murder or 'save thier soul' or mercy-kill a close person? Also, do you believe it is better to be un movingly cold and impervious to emotions, or to be humanly emotionful? P.S. (Survival of the Dead) Would you be an O'Flynn (Zombie-Killer) or a Muldoon (Cure-Seeker)? 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I haven't been there yet and so cannot say one way or another if I can or not. If we sacrifice our emotions we lose the distinction between us and the beasts we kill. Some emotions are valid regardless of what outsiders (who lack that personal link) think. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I would shoot anybody if they are a threat, bit, and etc. If it was me I would kill myself or have someone do it for me. We have to what we have to do sometimes whether we like or not. In all it would be better to show no emotion as can lead to problems but it is also good as it keeps us attached to one another.

Different situations call for different responses I reckon...If it's one of my 'loved ones' then it's two to the back of the head, dropped in a ditch and covered in petrol because the body is just a shell, the person lives on in y memories... But if it's the loved one of a loved one...say my Brothers GF, then it's a different story. I can't just cap her and burn the ***** because my people don't see the world the way I do...on the other hand if a loved one hid and protected an infected loved one, I think an example would have to be made because that's 'Reckless Endangerment' for hiding and 'Attempted Manslaughter' for protecting... Chaining the loved one to a post and forcing the idiot who hid them to watch them turn and then confronting them with the truth, that they endangered all of us and tried to kill all of us...before putting the Z down...you'd only have to do it once, but you might break that person forever? But I don't know what I'd do in truth until the time comes... 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Okay so I did some thinking and I know what I'd do.I'd ask them how they wanted to go. Barring anything else make them comfortable till they turned then let someone else do the deed. If no one is present then I'll have to figure out some other way. I'm a family first sort of person. I can handle threat to me much more easily than threats to my family. That level of protective feeling doesn't just go poof in a half-a-second. I can't shake the feeling that someone who can rationalize and kill in cold blood that easily can just as easily rationalize and kill someone else in cold blood. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Depends. If it's a fast spreading type of virus, then we wouldn't have much time. I'd ask a very simple variation of "You want me to try chopping?" I have to consider what people want. If it's not an instant change, we have time to make amends and that's much better for the mental state of the group. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

"overestimating our abilitiesYes it is a common mistake made by everyone including you. Hence no reason to be less than chilled out. OP: Can I ask you what makes you think you have this ability? Not saying I don't believe you but it's kiinda hard to believe that someone has this ability. :) 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I had trouble killing a cat that my family had had for 18 years. This cat that belonged to my mother, that i had gown up with, had lost the use of it's back legs. So one weekend I go to visit and my Father tells me that I need to put it down, because he can't because he wants to tell my mom it went by natural causes and doesn't think he can look her in the face and lie if he was the one that shot it.So I took the poor thing out back and killed it, and it was ALOT harder than I had thought it would be . I know it was just a cat, but it had been part of my family for eighteen years, it took far more than I ever would have guessed and it was just a pet. If i was in a spot where that was a human loved one,,, god I don't know it would be rough, I guess you just don't know until you're there. Do you find this valuable? |

Anyone who says right off they they could numbly slaughter everyone they know is either a liar or a sociopath. It is not something you can decide until the moment arrives. We are all human; no matter how much you try to seem like a Terminator, you aren't. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

What goes wrong in a culture so that half it's members think that being a sociopath is cool? =O_o=No, I wouldn't blow the brains out of someone I love just because they've been bitten. One, we don't know if they'll turn for sure! =O___O= Jeeez, talk about jumping to conclusions! Could have been airborn for all you know.... Second, why not live out their last moments with them? =O_O= You don't have to cut their time any shorter than it already is =-_-= Awwwwwww I'm sorry, might you feel something then? We can't have that!!! We should all be teed off Equilibrium characters claiming we don't have emotions! =^_^= That's what Hollywood taught me! Look what it really comes down to, the reason why we have this subject manifest as it does isn't even about heartlessness. That's just the spice.. You have two ways to answer the scenario of "You only have a little bit of time left with a person, do you distance yourself now to reduce the pain later or do you spend as much time with them as possible now to reduce the regret later?" =-_-= And by the way, heartlessness won't win you many popularity contests here, it just makes it look like you have no close relationships other than with movie characters... =O_o= 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

I guess this subject may have merit... It could help with a hard decision later to have discussed it now. However, I think an internet forum is always going to be a crappy place to discuss this... There is always gonna be like 3 or 4 people (per thread) who want to be, or think they are some kind of uber-cool pragmatic hero, and that capping a family member is a kosher subject to act like a billy-bada$. I would just try to do the right thing for everybody... The victim/infected, the family, and myself. If the virus is such that I can wait for them to say goodbye, then i would... If we are talking a few seconds to change, then I guess one would have to pragmatic... Doing that kind of thing cannot be easy, however. If it is, what's the point in saving humanity? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I don't think there is a need for you to kill your anyone bitten... as long as that person still has control of their faculties, i would try to convince them to grab a bludgeon and go down swinging at the horde.Thats what I would do if i was bit in zday... 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I see what you mean Dlow but I'd probably still wait until they turned. I mean, if I'd been killing zombies the whole time I must have a pretty strong disconnect that zombies =/= people so I'd likely wait. 'Course I can't envision an incubation period of seconds or minutes.I see what you mean too JBar. I wouldn't opt to get eaten alive but I'd take some pretty stupid risks if I knew I didn't have much more time. Remembering that I have a chance at a future has kept me from being pretty reckless so far, so I'd imagine that without that and with a strong goal to protect I'd probably try and do as much as possible. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

I mean, if I'd been killing zombies the whole time I must have a pretty strong disconnect that zombies =/= people so I'd likely wait. 'Course I can't envision an incubation period of seconds or minutes.I agree, Donovan... Most viruses have an incubation period of at least 72 hrs, with some into the month range. So the odds of really needing to kill someone as soon as they are bit are very slim. Maybe some kind of quarantine would be in order, to minimize risk to the community. Honestly though the majority of my point was the last line in my post... Why save the species if we lose our humanity in the process? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
