..give him the rope?

A hypothetical moral question.

Pretend you work in a hardware store and one day a disheveled but well spoken man comes in comes up to you asking for the strongest rope you have then he begins to share with you his life story. For the past three years he has battled Heroin addiction after the death of his whole family when on a road trip a bridge collapsed killing all but him in the car. He had experimented with heroin a few times in college to settle his nerves while preparing for exams and defenses and in the aftermath of his family’s death it found its way back into his life. He was a very well known and liked Professor coming up for tenor until he lost his appointment due to his continued self destructiveness and unprofessional behavior from the addiction. In the struggle of heroin addiction he contracted HIV and it has progressed rapidly to full blown aids. He has lost his home and all of his savings and has been homeless for nearly 2 years. He has destroyed his life and now Aids will destroy what’s left of it. He now tells you he can not bear another winter being homeless and that he plans to hang himself tonight. He has no money and asks you to give him a five foot piece of this rope, out of pity do you give it to him ?

I wouldn't have the guts to give someon the rope, if i knew they were going to hang themselves with it. I'd get my supervisor lol

But if I had the option of hanging the human race as a whole, with the chance of another race taking its place, I would.

I would because he has aids and he is going to die slowly with that so if he wants to die fast he should be aloud. But I don't think i could live with the fact that i helped killed some one their is a bunch of loop holes in this i think.

Strafe · 09-03-2008, 07:08 PM

I don't think I would give it to him, I'd attempt to help him as much as possible.

I also think I'd give it to him, because he's GOING to die no matter what.

I have no decision as of now

definatly, heck id even tie the knot for him.

but in all seriousness i dont know what id do.

I wouldn't give it to him, knowing that he would do that with the rope.
I wouldn't tell anyone though because thats his life unless I knew him or was well known amoung the community.

And it doesn't matter if he had Aids or not, suicide is a sin (Not trying to be Catholic).

I would, as long as it didn't harm my budget. Probably use my own money.
