If killing one person was going to save 10...100...1000...?

Maybe it depends on who you're killing and who you are saving. Ulitmatley though I would say yes it is worth it. As the post above mine said 2>1, but that is not always the case in humanity. If killing someone that had something to greatly contribute to society would save a few people who had nothing to contribute I would say it would probably be better to save the one, because there's always the posibility that saving that one person could save 10+ lives somewhere down the line. \nFor example (This is a horrible example and is not very realistic but oh well) say that someone had discovered a cure for cancer, but some terrorists said they'd release 100+ hostages if you would turn him/her over. In that case I would say sorry for those 100+ people because ultimatley the cure for cancer would save more lives.\nOther than that scenario or one similar though I'd say it is best to sacrifice one to save many.

The right thing? Kill over 3,000 innocent people and wreck a nations economy that has helped you for the last 85 years. As a result, by now about 7,000 Americans have died and about 375,000 Muslims have died. And now -it is really going to heat up. Several millions of people will die-of which 99.99% will be Muslims-and most of them really innocent! How can that be right?

I agree with having a death penalty, if we could ensure guilt. until then, the only justification is to "save money" that would be spent imprisoning someone for life. I think that argument is a little too NAZI. killing people because they cost society money just isn't a healthy road to travel.

You save 1/10th of your money... wowee.  That would be 10 cents per dollar.

Well, I'm a firm believer in sharing, so, I would put $1k toward helping someone. I would spend the rest on my personal medical needs.

the only way I would kill someone is if someone was trying to hurt a family member or any child. It would be fast I assure you. but hopefully I will not ever have to think of an answer like this again.

absolutely.. if they are capable of murder, the authoraties need to know before it happens again.  It will be hard, but imagine how much worse you'd feel if they murdered several other people as well, and you had the ability to stop it.

I think we would all like to think that we would close the bridge and save the train because that is what we were hired to do - but who, in reality, could knowingly kill their own child.   I believe this is one of those questions that cannot be answered truthfully, unless it was actually happening, even then we would not react until the last possible minute. I think I would save my child.

Less. If one would knowling commit a crime then one would no doubtibly be shot dead. Few would choose that.

My honest answer is quite selfish. I think it would be easier for me to kill another person. Then again, I have never had such a terrible challenge and I'm not so willing to find out which option I would choose from experience.

Yes, execution is an effective way of keeping people from committing crimes. Also, if you look at it, the 1,000 man was just executed last week I believe. It's not like we are killing people left and right.
