      Is it really though? Injustices happen all the time here. I want to agree with you but I’m struggling to come up with good justifications for it. Can you explain your thinking a little bit?

      So everyone including the innocent just ends?

      Because regardless of the choice. Innocent people will die.

      It’s how quickly you want that to happen I think is what we’re going after.

      Is this voluntary? Is it random? Is the person truly innocent? Is this person known or will be remembered? Is it a child? Is the world aware?

      I have a ton of questions that lean onto the “slow” side of things.

      But I think it’s too easy to say “nope, just end it”.

        It’s a fumbly one, eh?

        I agree that in an existence with that decision on the line, we would have to question many things.

        Does someone innocent have to die, or is someone lying about the rules of the decision to save themselves? Would people who expect to kill this person be willing to offer same thing themselves? If not, why can they really decide for someone else? Is the death actually necessary, and how? Will new religions form from this?

        What happens if it fails? Will that person just be dead for no reason? Will their loved ones be cared for? Who would even qualify?

        I just picture Cabin in the Woods.

          Great movie, BTW. What a concept!

          Which side did you fall onto, the people keeping the evil at bay, or the ones fighting to live even if it meant the end of the world?
