Happy Happy Fun Moral Dilemma Thread of Fuzzy Bunnies!

[Perfection]

So you're walking along some fine day and then you hear this big huge "kwagayugahippipploprofooooooom!". And this beautiful green spray mists over all the land. You stick out your tongue and it tastes like sweet delicious candy. Then you notice all around you all the people and fuzzy bunnies are getting sick. Over the next 2 weeks everybody in the world dies horribly and painfully except you and whoever is coming in that big black hoverplane...

So then Mr. Hoverplane comes over and picks you up with this big net, and it drops you off in front of this cadre of like 200 wicked lookin' sciency types inside (ya know the ones with the lab coats and pocket protectors).

This cute buxomed sciencey-type then sez, "Well, we kinda needed to kill of humanity because they were all, like, pollutin' and warrin' and stuff. Now we can have our new humanity free of such pestilence, we figured that about one in 10 billion would be lucky enough to be immune to the stuff,

The two men fighting in the corner makes you wonder if such goal is really attainable.

So as they land in this volcano lair she seys here's the deal, "you can stay but you must not voice dissent"

Then all the sciency-types being rather hungry from picking you up and assessing the damage all rush into the luch room. You note a big tank of acid behind them and pistol to your side apparently left behind by last ditch government raids for the cure.

So do you:
A: Kill them all dooming mankind to extintion
B: Shut up and live with it
C: Kill yourself

Where's the "Take the pistol and stage a coup and become the leader of the last remnants of mankind and father the new human race with the cute lady" option?

That is blatantly my choice, but mankind would die anyway cos i can't father any children, and neither would she, unless she wasn't a lady at all... :S

This cute buxomed sciencey-type

Clearly this is a hypothetical question...

BTW, what exactly IS the moral dilemma?

 

[feline_dacat]

More importantly - why does noone care about the cute fuzzy bunnies? *cries*

the moral dilemma is would you go along with the people who killed everyone on the earth,but you and preserve the human race or kill them to.

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Doubled, what is the moral issue here? The world's going to end and you can live or you can die and take the perpetrators with you. But everybody still dies...

Don't be so hasty. Go with them until you can blend in and earn their trust, then start to secretly develop a mind control drug that you can use to enslave the whole lot of them in their sleep. Humanity is avenged, and you become supreme leader of the new world order. It's win-win!

That works too. Of course if you're me then you're inherent charm will do instead of going to all the trouble of making a mind-control drug.

I smell a spammy confusing thread .

Well, since they are the last humans you can kill them and thus prevent humanity from ever recovering but avenge the 6 billion deaths, or you can help humanity rebuild (but not honor the deaths), or you can just kill yourself.

These are smart fellas, so you couldn't get away with a coup or any other nonsense.

"Smart" people are not neccesarily clever or devious. If they become convinced that I am honestly for their cause, I won't be suspected of anything. As long as I have perfectly logical covers for all of my secret ploys, then there's nothing to tip them off to my movements. If accused of anything, I'll be ready for it. I'll plant evidence that incriminates others, turn them against each other, or at the very least away from me. One the drug (Or some other method of mass hypnosis/mind control) is completed, I'll have seized power and it'll be too late.

If no opportunity presents itself to work on my plot, I can find other ways to get this little Cadre out of power.

They're clever enough to see your stupid ploys. The only options are A B or C.

From the moment I saw the thread title, I knew it as a parody of the moral dilemmas, beloved by philophers everywhere.

I choose c because my name starts with the letter 'c'.

Why would anyone doom the future of the human race for *revenge*? I would just doom it because they don't seem to be fit to govern the new human race.

 

[Perfection]

Hey, behind the gussied up exterior is a decent more dilemma.

 

[Perfection]

Why would anyone doom the future of the human race for *revenge*?

Well because these people are naughty evil genocidal maniacs

I would just doom it because they don't seem to be fit to govern the new human race.

So no humans is better then poorly governed humans?

 

[superslug]

The hypothetical scenario doesn't leave a large enough genetic base for species regrowth, so the human race is doomed anyway from a natural reproductive standpoint. I say shoot the secretary. Then you'll find out just how good the science guys are and humanities fate will hinge on our scientific laurels.

 

[North King]

Well, I suppose if you wanted to stoop to their level...

So no humans is better then poorly governed humans?

Yup.
