Would you give up your first born to prevent a nuclear war?

[Jayburner]

not sure about you guys but I wouldn't.

[The Casualty]

If my little boy dies, you all have to join him.

[Powerogue]

given the nuclear war would likely get me and my child murdered or imprisoned by the end of it, sure!

[DEATHETERNAL]

Depends on the circumstances. How old is she and how is giving her up going to stop the war exactly?

If she is a terrorist who set of a nuke in Russia and the Russians want her otherwise its war, sure.
If she is an innocent girl that Kim Jong Un wants for a slave otherwise he will set off the war, the world will burn.

Circumstance is everything (with those being extreme examples of course).

untold millions/billions of lives vs giving up my son? Hope you guys feel like fucking because youre going to have a lot of humans to replace. Death is the one constant of living, doesnt matter when it happens, its going to happen. I don't really give a shit how people i'll never meet are going to die but I wouldnt be giving up my son to keep them going for a little bit longer thats for sure.

Sacrifice one life to save billions? The choice is obvious.

Hypothetically since I don't have a child.

when you put it that way....let the child live. even though i hate children.

[buddhapunch09]

Why not? There doesn't even have to be a nuclear war! People are getting abortions everyday.
This world is sick.

Sacrificing something innocent (whether it be for money, lifestyle, or preventing a nuclear war) for any reasons is without a doubt wrong and unjust.
Did you push the button to arm the warhead? i think not!

[Underverse]

I don't have kids but I would

Although that might change if I do have kids

Though...I'm probably too much of a utilitarian to think twice

Well at least if humans weren't a plague, I wouldn't think twice

[Deleted]

yes I would

[THE Bigzoman]

Show me the table and I'll guide the knife myself to end that life, no 1 life is worth billions!

The world could probably use a reset button. Id keep the one life.

[Mormolyce]

Yeah probably. You can always have more kids. Making them is fun too!

[Swargle]

Absolutely not.

[Zhaveros]

Seems rather selfish to doom millions of innocence for your own child. I personally would because one life is not worth billions.

[Googolplex]

I'll throw the kid into the bunker, dress up like my kid and save the world myself. Its not rocket science.

[schwarzkopf]

I'd give up ALL my kids to stop a car crash, so yeah - absolutely

[vindicatorx]

Since I don't plan on having one sure.

[prankstar]

hell no not a chance

[Fatalcombat]

As such a hypothetical situation would likely end up such that I have no choice in the matter, since it's quite probable the rest of the world would force her to be sacrificed, then I would die with her, so she would not need to be alone.

This ^ Perfect answer.

[Ihnasir]

No, humanity has it coming.
