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. Side: Yes

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'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. Side: No
