I assume you're referring to murder or killing someone out of self-defense.

I don’t know if I could actually do it but my intuition tells me that if I could it would have to be in the heat of the moment. I cannot see myself decisively planning and going through with a murder, but if my life or the life of my loved ones were being threatened I like to think that I would have the resolve and physical ability to save my or their lives, even if it meant killing the threatening party.

Yes, but I am unsure of the psychological repercussions that may arise from my actions. If my life is in danger, or the life of someone I hold dearly to such as my mother or father, I will kill.

Side: Yes

If anyone comes near me or my family intending to wound, Yes. I would do anything. Even bite off their ear. (It could work :O

Side: Yes

People die everyday. One more life isn't going to change anything. Literally.

Side: Yes

Unless it was someone of significance like the president or the pope. Then life would start changing. Probably not by that much unless war occured.

If I had to. Which I hope I never will.

Philosophically, yes I would kill in certain situations (my life is being threatened, my family's lives are being threatened). But, I would have to consider that self defense. I don't think I could kill in cold blood or for revenge (unless it was for another killing).

Side: Yes

I couldn't do it. Life is important and people shouldn't be killed.

Side: No

Not even if you have a gun and the person is holding your loved ones at gunpoint? I think given a specific scenario that any human being is capable of killing another

Side: Yes

Shhhhh man. I just wanted that there so I could point to it during my murder trial.

Side: Yes

I've never tried to or been in such a position that it seemed the only way, so the truth is, I don't know.

But I can't imagine myself taking a human life. I hold life very highly, but also accept that it passes all too quickly. I can't usually control when I or those I love die, but I can choose not to end someone else.

But, if I REALLY got pushed....I don't think I'd kill to save myself, but if a loved one is in mortal danger...I'm not sure how far I'd go in the moment.

There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.

Side: No
