Jigsaw is that you? Am I about to see Billy the puppet on the little red tricycle pull up?
Your hypothetical situation depends. If you hand me a gun and say kill this random innocent person or die. I’d personally try to kill you. The person forcing me to try to kill someone else. If I’m dying regardless, because Im not killing an innocent person, I’d prefer to go down by taking you with me.
But if it’s a hey kill this person who has done this extremely terrible crime or you die. Wellll. I value myself more than someone who lets say murdered a child for example. So in that case. Bye. I’ll shoot the other person to live. Am I going to feel great about it? No even if I do convince myself I’m getting justice for the kid the person killed. Although going after you, the person forcing me into this situation, is still top priority even if I do shoot this other person in this case.
This is what made the saw movies so interesting despite them being hard for me to watch because they put people in these awful situations. Really it’s like what would you do
