Re: Pratia III
New to the forum, this is me trying to make a good impression.

1. To be directly responsible for the murder of one man, or indirectly responsible for the deaths of 5...I admit I am perplexed, yet I must answer...
The answer lies in the wording of the question, "...killing one man..." or "...will result in the death of five...". There are laws against murder, but are there laws against idling standing by? No. So if you look at it that way, murder is ultimately wrong, and since you are indirectly responsible for the deaths of the other 5, legally you are not.
Morally though, 5 lives vs. 1 life?
I must go against murder, although my instinct is telling me not to answer...
2. Legally the man will be guilty, but morally the man would be innocent. Medicine, money, these are just things. Money is not life, but the medicine could potentially be. I must lean in favor of the theft, any man that truly loves his wife would own up to the responsibility of his punishment. Life vs. Money? Life hands down.
3. We pose no threat to them, we are but survivors of a brutal reign upon our people... And as I said in the first answer, murder is ultimately wrong, but if we are to face death by our hands, we must defend ourselves. Take some out before we go, go out guns blazin'.
