    Depends entirely on the situation. If it was "kill this guy otherwise a whole city of people gets destroyed" then yeah, I would kill him. Also, I would be willing to be killed if I were that guy.

    When it comes to a situation like that, there's usually an third option. Obviously, the best answer is C, but when that's not possible there is various scenarios.

    One is that I don't know the person. there is an instinct of self-preservation in every( or almost) human being. Obviously I would rather be the one killing.

    One is that it is a person that I love. There is an instinct to protect your loved ones in every( or almost) human being. In this case, the outcome depends on which of the two instincts overrules.

    And then there are still more possibilities, but the list is endless and I'm not going to bother with them.

    How old are you? Why would you ask such a question? Obviously no one would want to be either. Have you ever had someone killed in your family? I have, and your stupid question doesn't sit lightly with me go mess around on something else if your bored rather then ask meaningless questions !

    Depends on why... Since I would only kill someone if they'd done something truly horrifying like murdering my family or worse, than I'd have to go with being the one killing, since they would truly deserve it..

    um well neither but if i had to choose....it would depend on the person being killed. but generally - id rather be the person killing : (

    i would rather be the one being killed b/c if i killed someone then i wouldn't be able to face the family or the community if i killed someone. I probably wouldn't be able to face jail time niether.

    Besides why would you want to kill someone?

    i would rather be killed, i dont want to live with blood on my hands

    Um... I guess the killer, just because I really don't like pain and imagine that getting killed would really hurt.
