The secret of immortality has been discovered. Unfortunately it involves the killing of little children and eating their hearts (must be taken orally).
1. The experiments were done in a third world country and their Dictator for Life is now Dictator for ever...Worse still he is making billions off the wealthiest Americans who are now flying in once a year to "feed" on the local children - they will need to do so for the rest of their existance.
(a) Nuke the country and kill the Wealthy Americans buying immortality?
(b)Cheer that death has been cured but feign outrage at the gross cost of it?
(c)other?
2. A number of Wealthy have stopped going...and rumors suggest they are experimenting on local kids for the secret of immortality. Finally they announce that they have a solution but it involves harvesting poor American Kids. The Government Puts this to a vote of the Population so that they can divest themselves of the responsibility.
You are asked to vote Yes/No (anyone abstaining will be shot for treason for avoiding the issue).

1. Your choices are flawed. Kill the dictator and destroy all notes on the subject. That would stop the nonsense. However, judging from your other thread, I suspect you have other motives for this thread. 2. I am not American, so I don't get to vote. |

It depends. Are you talking about actual hearts, or are you using that as a euphemism for stem cell research?
Because there are literally thousands of fetuses that will never be implanted and are just tossed out via the in vitro fertilization programs that can be used for the process.
It's idiotic to not use them, they will never be alive.

1) Put the child to sleep. Eat the heart. Feel deliciously evil.
2) Have an epic cleric cast a component-less True Resurrection.
Oh wait, this isn't D&D ?

Yeah, it's funny, when I read question 1, my first thought was the potential use of stem cells to create heart tissue to create child hearts without harming any living children. If this is a literal inquiry for the sake of social understanding, it's an odd one. If the experiment here is really the observation of people's reactions to the questions themselves and not a study of answers, then this is ridiculous and I demand a refund (oh, and such a thing would be a violation of the ethical guidelines under which psychologists must operate - informed consent and the right to withdraw).  As for my actual answers, my answer to 1 is C, using stem cells as I said above. As for 2, I vote no (rejecting the proposed child experimentation) because of my answer to 1. Also, I'm not entirely committed to my answers since the very possibility of eternal life would fuck up law (Social Security...), the economy, social norms, etc. very quickly, which, while not inherently bad, would cause unnecessary chaos, which is bad (because it's destructive, not productive/constructive). |

I'm guessing eating the heart of a happy child is better than an unhappy unloved one.
Can I pay for those heart with puppies? Its a good deal for both sides.

With all those people eating the hearts of children eventually you're going to run low or out of children to harvest. That's going to devestate the country's workforce with 20-30 years since you'll have fewer workers to fill all the jobs.
