    I hope for the sake of humanity, everyone that's saying that they'd actually do it for money is just joking, because human life can not possibly equate to money.
    Yeah. Even millions wont buy you hi tech cars with missile launchers and stuff.

    depends entirely on the situation, I wouldn't accept it from some stranger out of the blue, if I was completely sure that I would be safe in doing it then I'd probably do it for about £25k

    nope, I've often thought how easy it would be to kill a person and get away with it

    You should also be against things like welfare and the NHS then, if you respect the dignity of persons, rather than utilitarianism.

    It confuses me that people would almost never kill one person to save two, but would happily rob one person to do so.
    This isn't how political philosophy works; first of all, it confuses discussion to conflate personal and political morality - nor is there some kind of absolute binary between utilitarianism and deontology.

    I would kill for £100 even if the person is pregnant, I don't care to be honest. I just want the cash still, and the person must give me a fake ID. I wouldn't ever kill kids or the elderly, I'll kill anyone else though.

    I would kill for money but not anyone. It would have to be someone I detest or desire revenge for.

    Not for all the money in the world. Unless it was in self defence, of course.

    I feel incredibly guilty if I (accidently) kill a spider, lord knows what it'd take for me to actually kill a person.

    Really depends on who I'm assigned to kill. I know most hitmen are not allowed to feel any emotional attachment to their jobs, but if I was going to kill someone I'd have to do it to someone I thought deserved it - not for what they've said, not for the way they look, not for the views they hold, but for something they've done. And even then it'd have to be something which had adversely affected me.

    This threads hilarious.

    > Someone posts they wouldn't kill anyone for any amount of money

    "OMG YOU MEAN YOU WOULDN'T KILL HITLER/ KILL SOMEONE WHO'S TRYING TO KILL YOU?!?"

    > Someone posts they wouldn't kill someone without a good reason

    "OMG YOU MEAN YOU'LL KILL SOMEONE JUST FOR LOOKING AT YOU WRONG!?!"
