If you could cure all disease in the world forever, but to do so you have to murder one innocent child, would you do it?

murder is such a strong word in this case.. lets call it a sacrifice..

Nah i wouldnt want to interfere with the natural ways of life.

One innocent child for millions of lives......

I don't know if I could. I am already making excuses in my head why I shouldn't do it (right now it's saying disease is a way to regulate population, new diseases would probably pop up anyway)

I'd rather kill myself than kill a child.

No, not because I'd want to save the innocent child, but because I wouldn't want to save all those who were deemed unworthy in the eyes of nature as to not die by these diseases. We need them to kill off the weak.

Didn't think of that when I answered but I agree. Overpopulation would be insane

I don't want to cure disease. It's just another way to keep the population in check.
Sometimes suffering is necessary.

Yeah! I'd probably end up having saved another kid in a matter of minutes
No.. People don't deserve Heath if they'd kill an innocent kid to get it

Common sense says yes.
But, my heart says no.
But when faced with dilemmas such as this in real time, we're capable of more than we think.

Possibly yes, and once all disease is cured I'd kill myself

Don't say that please. :(
