Would you be willing to become 3 billion peoples savior at the cost of becoming 3 billion peoples grim reaper?

I think this follow one a little bit from what my last post was talking about and then takes it a bit further.

I was watching a alphas (the tv show) and made me think about what peace is worth and that the differences between people is too much some time. The show displays well a world just like our own and uses people with "abilities" as a good was of creating a "Us" verses "Them" mentality that we see is our everyday lives. Discrimination is far too common in our world, disliking, hating, hurting, people just because they are different, just because you don't understand, or more to the point don't want to understand, is wrong and shallow minded. In saying that who am I, or anyone for that matter, to be the judge or what is right and wrong?

A line in the show talks about "do you want ashes or paradise?" referring to the idea that in 40 years we will have destroyed ourselves and there will be nothing left, so what is the lives or some in comparison to the lives of all? Would you kill 3 billion people if there was a 99.99% chance that in 40 years that we would almost wipe ourselves to extinction? would you kill the 3 billion to save 3 billion?
Now that's a question, and not easily answered, yes there will be people who will jump on either side of the answer and then there are people whole would think about it a lot, with a 0.01% chance of survival if you don't would you be willing to become 3 billion peoples savior at the cost of becoming 3 billion peoples grim reaper?

Myself I am an optimistic guy, i see the hope i see the potential in people, so even though it may only be a 0.01% chance i think it's worth it. The human race is a stubborn one to say the least, we always find a way to survive, a way to persevere no matter the odds, that's just how we are, awesome (for the most part).

Remember that one good memory is worth all the bad ones.

Sorry for the ramble


Stay awesome
