What if you had to kill the person you hated to save 1000 hamsters you loved?


That's a good one. I probably wouldn't do that, again depends on how much I hated said person. Razz

I hated the hamster my siblings had it was an incredible pain in the finger.

By the way hamsters are rodents and breed as such they are like 50 cents at most pet stores and there are billions of the little things and more every day so does it really matter if a few die to save lives?

They're annoying, but I don't think I could actually kill one, especially stamping them dead. And even more impossible for me would be 1000. I would end up killing myself first.

Should you kill a hamster in order to save a human? That gets into a large morality question that some animal rights people may have problems with.I would agree however, that if you can save one human by doing so, killing the hamster would sadly be worth it.

Obviously however, why not develop a better way to obtain the cells? If you can save a human without killing other life, wouldn't it be better?

I'd still be sad, but I don't think I'd have the internal conflict. I can't stand mice. *shiver*

Why do you think I took it to the vet? Because I didn't want it to die. Besides, my hamsters become friends, just as a dog does to some people.

I paid $26 when it died before the vet really did anything.
