[QUOTE="coastie, post: 215890, member: 1924"] What I suggest is to take this to a more personal level. Think of your kids or your wife. If a man is holding a gun to your wife's head and you have the means to stop him from killing your wife, what would you do? I took an oath a few years ago to "Do no harm" (hypocratic oath). As almost all who are in a medical field from field EMT's to Surgeons. However, if harm is to come to my wife, I will eliminate the threat because my wife doesn't deserve to die. She has done nothing to provoke this threat to her life. In the grand scheme, more harm would come if she were killed rather than the assailent. I would absolutely take a shot at the guy, there is no question. If it were God's will for her to die, it would happen no matter what I do, but it [b]would[/b] be wrong for me not to save her. On the same note, it would be wrong for me to not lay down my life to save someone else. Here is my philosophy on that: If a person can definately be saved through the loss of my life, the other's life takes precedence over mine. If it isn't certain that the person can be saved, I would be doing more harm by risking my life and therefore causing two deaths instead of one. This all boils down to who's life do you value more, and through who's death can more lives be saved. I highly doubt that Jesus would have much of a problem with anyone killing someone for the greater good, and the cause of saving more lives than you are taking. My $.02 [/QUOTE]
