since it takes everything within me not to kill people every day I have little doubt I could even though I haven't yet. the fact we have to produce chemicals to suppress violence leads me to think we all could under the right circumstances.

I think I could, but I'd certainly not want to be convinced or fooled into believing that I should. I mean, I took a small self-defense weapon with me the last time I faced a perceived threat, and I actually worried about if I had to use it, if I punctured a lung, if an ambulance could get there quickly enough... I had to be convinced by a third party that if it was in self-defense, the consequences were not my concern.

I don't think murder is in my nature.

It would be a horrible thing to be exposed to the fact that you could do it. I haven't seen the show,but I feel sorry for the people who have to live with that fact. It seems unethical to do that to them in the name of entertainment.

I’d like to think I wouldn’t do something like that but nobody really knows what their mind might do in certain situations that they have never been in before.

I only know though that if I had to kill someone, I would hope that it be one of these two circumstances: self defense or a mercy killing.

If I had to kill someone to keep myself from being killed I would do it. And if someone was suffering badly and was going to die anyways, I’d be willing to cut it short for them. If they wanted me to of course.

We all have the capability to kill. Our soldiers are paid killers and murderers. We as a nation support these killings/murders.

Yes, we can be pushed to commit murder. Anyone ever watch the news or read about daily events? Have you ever heard or wars, or do you see a violent backlash of "everything Trump" going on right now. Trump is not causing it, of course. He just uses the worst in human nature to satisfy his own ends and needs.

Depends on what you consider murder. I am fine with Euthanasia and abortion, I eat meat (I'm pretty omnivorous) but don't see killing people personally. I do not support the death penalty. I'm sure there are situations where it would be necessary but I don't think I am likely to run into those scenarios and in many cases it still isn't the only option.

I looked at this pic, Derren Brown is a great debunker and a clever man. He looks worringly unwell on this pic though.

It's not the question of could you do it, can you live with yourself after doing it?
I'm not weighing ethics or morality or making judgments, I'm asking a simple question.

I think every human alive is capable of murder.

I heard him on the JRE podcast recently & it sounds fascinating! I look forward to checking out his work ?
