I could never kill anyone but if I did it would have to be my coworker Sandy otherwise I would get no enjoyment out of it.

The scenario is supposed to reflect my morals?

My morals tells me it's a SETUP!
they did all the prep work im just supposed to shoot him?
for 50 million dollars?

Sounds to me like they're just looking for a guy to take the fall. >_>

Plus both answers are sh*tty, you're either a killer or an opportunist

a Revenge setting would be more justifiable

Like let's say,

"A Co worker of yours ate your Burrito..

Would you kill him?"

See, i would answer that with a 'YES'
this setting i don't trust, it's just not plausible enough

No in general...but if it was someone like OJ, Osama, my ex-business partner who stabbed me in the back, and any banker responsible for the sub-prime mortgage loan crisis that ruined my life...then YES!

Actually a 'yes' answer makes you an opportunistic killer.
A 'no' answer makes you neither of those things.

As for the "doubling" that The Batlord brought up (which I don't believe is a widely accepted term among psychiatric professionals), this is totally different. The killing and torture that people do because their military higher-ups told them to is done regardless of the financial benefits they receive. Nobody working under the Nazi regime made 50 million for what they did. Most probably barely made a living wage.

And the military higher ups would just as soon kill them for not following orders also. I've never heard the term doubling, I just always thought it was called multiple personality disorder or schizophrenic.

In The Batlord's defense, a legit psychiatrist coined the term when he was analyzing the behavior of Nazi doctors. Dr. Robert Jay Lifton. Here's a page from one of his books. It's not about multiple personalities or schizophrenia. More like subtle brainwashing, which definitely does happen to perfectly sane people who commit atrocities for the sake of war or religion, etc.

Back on topic. I personally place this moral question in a file in my mind that I call "hypothetical decisions that I absolutely cannot make until I'm faced with them in reality" - it's a pretty large file.

my thoughts exactly but if we could create our own way of elimination besides shooting. I think my knowledge of watching CSI shows, Bones and Dexter will come in handy to cook up something special.

I would probably do it if faced with the possibility
