Price of a human life

image: SNF07SPDAN-280_525272aWhat is the amount of money you would have to be paid to kill a person. It's 100% hypothetical, and you aren't going to get punished and nobody will know expect you. How much money would it take for you to take another human being's life? Or would you do it at any cost?

Picture somewhat releated.


PS:
Use Euros please, or convert your own currency to euros.


You can decide how you kill them yourself. Be it a shot to the head, or a heart attack.


For me, 1 000 000 euros would be enough, maybe even 500 000. This money would surely be enough for me, and as this person is just a nobody to me I probably wouldn't weep over it that much. If it's someone I know or care about, the price would have to multiply a lot, if I would even do it.
If I would do it face-to-face, it would probably be over 1 500 000, I would most likely remember the fear and loathing in the person's eyes when I'm pressing the trigger for the rest of my life.

But as this whole situation is hypothetical, I'm not sure if I could actually do it if it came down to it :)

WHERE'S YOUR MORALITY?!!!

So would it be like shooting in the face, or pressing a button so that a nigger dies on the other side of the world?
Any way you want.
Parent

Parent

i wouldnt kill for money , its quite sad that money/luxury means this much to you
You would kill for sex
Parent
You serious? You're an asshole.
Anyways, you can get somebody whacked for a few 100 euros here in Belgium
I would never kill a person.
i don't need money to kill someone
i would do it for free, i mean no one is gonna know it right?

or depends whats the max they can pay me!
Max would be probably like 1 000 000 000 000. But it's naive to believe they would give you it :p
Parent
if the kill is an important one then the might pay me it
Parent
oh and i would snipe the person ^_^

Is there a chance I will be caught? Am I actually murdering someone or are they dying?
You can't get caught. You can choose if you just press the "Kill" button or actually put a bullet to their head.
Parent
And you don't know this person?

Guess I the amount I'd do it for wouldn't have to be too big. Over 100k probably.
Id just press the kill button.
Parent
none and money is overrated anyway
i kill dem everyday @ et, face to face, 2$ a frag...
wouldn't do that for money
i killed 138 gooks with my bare hands back in nam. all for uncle sam...
i even knifed 214 :)
Parent
I'd only be able to kill a person if it was good for virtue and the person being a danger to other people or things that are good for virtue.

Money isn't a motive for me to kill. It's not that i couldn't do it, but its the fact that money isn't of that big importance to me.
Killing a person who is a danger to other people makes you "a danger to other people" ;)
Parent
but it would still be justified trough virtuous reasons.
Parent
jij kan wel een aardig woordje engels vriend!
Parent
kheb kort in Londen gewoond
Parent
om shakespeare les te geven toch
Parent
Zo'n lerares duits op school zit elke week over Goete(?) te zeveren, das blijkbaar de duitse shakespeare. Toen vroeg ik of die dan heel Romeo en Juliet had vertaald int duits, moest ik de klas uit :<
Parent
dat is wel heel flauw. ik heb mijn tekenvaardigheden de laatste tijd flink verbeterd tijdens school, ben best trots
Parent
ik ben ook trots op jou :]
Parent
depends on who is getting killed
id even kill certain ppl for free
i kill for 250k.
/pm here
i would only kill ppl who deserves to die imo. everything else is just ridiculous. if some1 pay me for it even better.
serial murderer who muredered 6 people and promised to do again got 8 years prison in estonia (:
he just got free recently, good country
Child molesters and rapists get from 2 to 8 months max in Finland... what a shit.
Parent
I wouldn't kill at all.
I would do it for free, since Im a true killer
Are you Killer[PL] from ET ??:3
Parent
nobody has 2 know :s
Parent
box of beer would be enough

id do it with cutting it's throat
oh, and i would make him/her swallow his/her on tongue :)
wouldn't do it. watch the machinist.
- fear of getting caught
- doing the act = hard
- risk of not doing it right
- effect on his family
- effect on yourself = lifelong mental illness and guilt
- still young enough, intelligent enough, skilled enough to make my own money
- difficulty of getting and spending 1 million without questions asked/being caught by government - you would have to do more criminal stuff = more risk of being caught
- honour

having said that in a perfect situation where reality of risk isnt there and i have the balls at the time, i would put a bullet in someones head who was a truly evil person

- I have no fears cuz since Im a true killer
- Im used to doing the act since Im a true killer
- I wont do it wrong since Im a true killer
- I dont care about his family since Im a true killer
- Im used to it since Im a true killer
- Im a stonecold killer since Im a true killer so Id ont care
- I would do it for free since Im a true killer
- Dont have honour since Im a true killer

Easy as pie
Parent
As I stated, you can't get caught.
Your other points are very valid, though.
Parent
not for me since Im a true killer
Parent
I would pay for an opportunity to kill some piece of shit garbage terrorists or other kinda dickfaces

I don't think you mean euthanasia but I'd do that for free as it's the right thing to do in some circumstances

Maybe I could work as someone who injects death-sentenced people with poison (not immoral as they're dying regardless and won't give a shit who kills them, I'm effectively not the one doing the kill anyway it's the court) but my wage demand would be so high that nobody would hire me
EDIT: Unless I get the "KILL" button ofc. I could slam that one @ 100€/shot or something that would keep me in business with the current deathsentence-frequency

For normal cold-blooded hitman work against ~randoms or those I don't give a fuck about, I wouldn't do for any price. I'd need a (non-financial) motive of my own to commit a murder.
u can easily say "yeah im going to shoot someone for 1000000 euros."
but how the fuck do you know if U REALLY CAN when u have/should to.
i think only a few people can really pull the trigger. I`m sure i can´t so i wouldn`t take all money on earth
Yeah, as I said:
QuoteBut as this whole situation is hypothetical, I'm not sure if I could actually do it if it came down to it :)

No price and Id use a knife
just a knife or knifes?
Parent
LOL ITS KNIVES U MORAN!

trolled hard :DDDD

What coork said
Parent
wouldn't do that for ANY money + if someone hurt me really hard, I'd rather beat him up than kill (most likely by hiring some people to do that for me, so I'd SPEND some money, not EARN)
So you would kill someone you care about for money?

Thats just weak
The amount of money that I want to be paid to kill someone does not exist as I will simply not kill someone. This is the kind of material you shouldn't even give any amount of brain-resources to. Period. The fact that you think you could kill someone you don't know for a million is disturbing really. Just because you don't know them does not change the fact that you will be causing quite a few people a whole lot of fucking pain. Strange boy you are.
You're acting like I already killed someone, with your "I am the Neutral Judge around here" attitude. You're also showing how little you actually even give thought to this, with your "blah blah, period. That's how it is. Deal with it, world".
Parent
There is no logical, senseful, moral, you-name-it explanation of killing anyone. He is right. You just don't do that. Period. If you do that, you do wrong.

The amount of money doesn't have anything to do with it. If you can kill for 20,000 dollars, you can very well kill for 20 dollars.
Parent
You're taking the same approach as him. "My opinion is law. Period". People have killed others since forever, the only reason human life is considered so sacred right now is the fact that the society is like that. The human race hasn't developed in evolutional terms since the ancient Roman times, and back in those days killing was amusement for the people (gladiator battles). It still is (action movies).
Parent
I'm not talking about factual status. Yes, people kill other people for thousand reasons. But that doesn't change the fact that they mostly do WRONG. That's why we invented the broadly interpreted "culture", so that we can skip "natural" behaviour.

I really don't get your point here. What are you trying to say? People kill other people? Yes, I agree. It's all right to kill someone for money? NO. It's not fucking right.
Parent
I'm trying to say that implying something is right or wrong is ridiculous, and also saying it like "Its wrong man, period. I am right."
Parent
Implying something is right or wrong is ridiculous? How ridiculous are you? Killing IS wrong. And this has nothing to do with you implying that my mindset is thinking in absolutes, it is a simple fact. You know it's wrong as well, otherwise you would not post this journal where the question actually is "how much money would it take for you to do something that you know is immoral".

But in return you bring in the ridiculous argument that in ancient Roman times killing was done for the amusement of the people. It was for the amusement of the wealthy and you can bet safe money on the fact that the ones in the arena killing each other did not find it all that amusing as they were forced to do that. There is tons of things people have done in the past that we all know is wrong, such as deeming "strange" or "different" women to be witches and killed them because of that. Doesn't change the fact that it's wrong.

What Ronner said, motherfucker, what Ronner said!

:D
Parent
This matter just piled up to too much hate and flame, so I chose not to reply to him :X
Parent
well, I think he has a point. can't disagree with anything he said.
Parent
kill someone for money you don't know... doubtful. kill someone you know for money...unbelieveable. :/
depends who
I'd do it like Dexter Morgan - just kill a very bad person who deserves it. No money needed. Lethal injection or something I guess.
:D those kill rooms take way too much time though!
Parent
same as butchji, only bad person, but different weapon
i neither would nor could kill a random person or one i know/like
