I would rather argue for infinity, than injure or kill another human being.

Would you rather die than kill? Would you rather let someone else die than kill?

I know good people who would answer yes to both, so I'm not judging - just asking.

I would want to say yes to both, and I might, right up until the moment comes. At that point I don't see myself saying yes any more, especially if it involved family.

So though I say yes, I also know it is most likely a lie, or just wishful thinking.

So would I. However, humanbeings kill each other all the time. Given the choice between killing another human being, or having another human being kill me, I know which choice I would make.
