Well..Okay...
I talked to my friend about this,and we were being honest..If someone offered you 10 million USD to kill a person, would you do it?And would you kill a friend for 25 million USD?
This is weird, and we were being honest to the fullest. I would really think about this,since 10/25mil would set me for life,and I wouldn't struggle w/ school+2 part time jobs. But then again, I doubt I could live w/ the guilt of taking someones life..Which is the most valuable thing in the world,since you only get one life...And yeah,weird to talk about it, but when you post be honest and don't say "blah if you kill someone you are an a-hole"...I find it somewhat shady though to kill for money, but yeah. Killing is just pathetic in general.
Keep in mind that if you would do it,you wouldn't get caught,nor would have to hide,basically just a free 10 million to kill
No serial killers,pedophiles, KKK, nazi's and everything. It would be a totally random person off the street whos a blue collar.

If I could be assured total safety for my person upon the death I would do it. Maybe not the friend part but with what I know now thanks to Phillipino Kali, Pencak Silat and other practical Martial Art forms and what I know about weaponry especially of the quick kill kinds, I would be certainly capable as is.
And with my family's track record, I wouldn't be the first to harm someone if not kill someone on the family tree.

-If you join the mafia and are a hitman and kill someone for money its known as the worst kind of crime and if you get caught you probably get incarcerated for a very long time.
-If you join the military and get sent out to war and kill certain people for money (you do get paid to be in the military, after all), it's more than likely you'll be treated as a hero to the people back in your country.
The moral and logical contradiction there just pisses me off and makes me kind of depressed at the same time that most people don't make the connection (I didn't either until it was pointed out to me).
To answer your question though, I think it's wrong and I doubt I would do it for any amount of money.

I forgot to add the part that if you do kill,you will be free as this would be a cold case,and you would never get suspected.

I honestly could never live with myself I killed someone. I can barely just hit someone without feeling terrible for it.

[COLOR="Indigo"]Say what you wish, but I wouldn't do either.
Yeah, 10 or 25 million dollars would be nice, but I'm not at all willing to kill someone in order to get it.

No, I would not kill for any amount of money, and I'm sort of shocked at the replies I've seen on this thread.

Uh no. I don't think I'd be able to kill anyone for any amount of money. I don't think it's possible to set a price on human life?

Honestly, I would kill a random guy for 10million. Knowing that I'd get away with it. I can live with myself. And I could sleep at night  So no problems there...

Actually, I read in an article about a week ago that the EPA has estimated the average American life is worth about 6.9 million. The government then takes these figures and uses them to decide whether or not to pass a ruling.
On Topic: I couldn't take another person's life. I'd get to thinking about the victim's loved ones, emotions etc etc.

SRSLY
...
I'd straight kill someone for free if I knew it was a cold closed case.
I just wanna try it.
I won't.
But i want to.
As for killing a friend for 25- Nope.
Killing someone who I don't like that considers me a friend- YUP!

Only if it were a serial killer, pedophile, or nazi/bigot of sorts. Then yeah, 10m yay. And I'd kill anyone except children or friends for 25m, maybe.

We all THINK we would not.
But if the situation was different...
Who knows.
This is an ethical test in THE BEST of times...
As you watch you children starve- I am sure you'd kill a man for a loaf of bread.
....
And too those who say if he was XXX BIGOT...
You know ALL people have prejudices- they just tend not to be as overt. (I HATE stupid people)

You are right.
i don't know you.
Of course It is fair to say that you also do not know what you would do when pushed to unfathomable extremes (unless you were and you have that experience which I would doubt, but could be wrong).
.....
So in the medical line... Hippocratic Oath I assume?
Are you saying you would NOT sacrifice another for your child's life?
I would.
In a nano-second.
....
And before anyone assumes I am some heartless bastard I teach morals to children for a living.- But I personally believe that morality is completely subjective.
