I don't know about this one. Who am I to say who should live and who should die? Even if its one man vs ten, it's as if I'd be forced to put a value n someone's life, and again, who am I to judge? Who am I to say "okay, Bill, you're life is worth as much as...hmmm lemme think...10 of these guys"? Ya know?

Kill one life to save another isnt justified but to kill one to save many is

I think that 1 life=1 life. Therefore, killing one to save another is not usually justifiable, but killing one for multiple people's lives is.

But some lives are worth more than others... It's like if there's 12 people who need a new heart but only one heart to give out, you wouldn't say "oh we'll everyone's lives are equal, so I'll choose by random", you'd do an extensive background check and put together all the factors to make a decision. But should we mortals really be making these judgement calls in the first place, or is this beyond us? Is it fair to put that much power in someone's hands? Ooooo

Give the heart to the person who signed up for a new one first? I think it just has to happen sometimes. A choice has to be made, otherwise 12 will die when 1 could have lived.

And sometimes, the ones who die choose that. Like, someone who will take the place of others (shove them out of the way of a car or something).

@Ethan that's just one situation. There's 5 people in a house on fire. Who gets saved first, while the last person saved could die? Also there's that one part in Saw I think.

@Sarah True, a choice does have to be made for the better good because since someone is being saved and no one is being hurt, you can at least agree it's best to give it to someone. Whereas this question is about murder, and whether or not it's worth it to save someone is debatable

Yeah, but what type of situation would apply to this? 1 life would still = 1 life though.

@Sarah if one life seemly equals one life, than the life of an ant and the life of a person would be equally valuable...even one person and another's lives aren't equal. I'd gladly die for a lot of people because they're of more value to the world

1. Killing someone else isn't suicide
2. Just because you may go to hell for doing something according to the bible, doesn't make it morally wrong.
3. This question is supposed to make you think, not restate something someone told you in Sunday school. Can you form your own opinion and share that instead? It'd be appreciated.

@MarioEthan It's one of the most selfish acts possible, but I can't blame anyone who does it. For one, they tend to convince themselves that people will move on when they die or just not care at all, and therefore, don't realize how many people they're hurting. And if you're someone who is so brought down and hopeless that you not only lost the will to live, but actually /crave/ death, I don't blame you; I pity you.

@Sarah Well yea, it's necessary. On a large scale if you think about war it's fine, but the individual battles are just horrible... I mean the soldiers are just average blokes, they don't deserve to die, so killing them with your own hands is morally wrong
