The Value of Human Life (a poll for BigSooner)
Think of the person you love most in your life. It could be your mum, your pa, your girlfriend, your son...heck, it could even be you.
Got someone in mind? Good.
That person has a terminal illness that will cause him/her to die a horrible, horrible death over the next year. There is a cure. It is 100% effective, and remarkably cheap. All you have to do to get it is to press a button, which will enable a death ray in space to vaporize ten random starving African children. You will never have met these children otherwise, and no one will ever connect you to the killing.
What'll it be?
