[dylug] Ponder!

I happened to stumble upon this (again :) the other day... 
... these may be a little macabre to some... but that's not the point.
Anyways... the following are moral dilemmas to get you thinking ;)

What would you do, and more importantly, *why*??

 Question 1:
--------------------

For an all expense paid, one week vacation anywhere in the world,
would you be willing to kill a beautiful butterfly by pulling off its
wings?

The Choices Are:

(1)  Yes. I'd kill the Butterfly without a second thought.
(2)  Yes. I'd kill it but with reservations.
(3)  No. I wouldn't kill the Butterfly.
(4)  I'd kill a cockroach but not a Butterfly.


--------------------
 Question 2: 
--------------------

Would you kill your pet for $50,000? What if someone offered to give
$50,000 in medicine and food to needy children domestically or
overseas and this donation would probably save a few lives if you put
your dog or cat to sleep? Would you sacrifice your pet to save a few
children you never met?

The Choices Are:

(1)  Yes. I'd kill it in both circumstances.
(2)  No. I wouldn't kill it in either circumstance.
(3)  I would kill it to save the children but not for $50,000 to myself.
(4)  I'd kill somone elses pet but not my own.
(5)  If I didn't have children I would have it killed to save the children.
(6)  THis QUestion is too hard. You suck!

You need to have in mind a family pet like a cat or a dog. Not a
goldfish and not an aging pet on the fritz. Think about if those were
your children. Would you want or expect the person to kill their pet
for them? Does your own action differ? Double standards?
