socks 32,253 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The baby is alive when you leave the room, the answer is in the question. "You are told categorically without a doubt that the baby will grow up to be Hitler" So if with out a doubt that he WILL grow up to be Hitler the baby has to be alive when you leave the room. Nowhere does it say that he baby will be Hitler if you don't kill him. The question's purpose is to see how we read and evaluate information. It isn't a what would you do moral dilemma question just a simple one with possible horrible decision making sublimely inserted to test ways of thinking. Socks has had us all on the run with this one. There is no hidden secret words that it may be this or that or anything else ... Its a simple question ... That baby is adolf hitler and if you allow him to live he will grow up to do what history tells us he did ... So do you kill the child or not ... It's that simple a question ........

Knowing it was little Adolf/Adult from the off, it may prove better to interject into his life just after he raised the german economy...with a sniper. Or else Eva wud drop the tab for a large carpet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 For me, it would be alive. As to kill the baby would change the course of history. TC This is not the type of question, one might encounter in a job application form, for Tescos or McDonalds..... The question is obviously something that might be put to a member of the Military ,..SAS or similar special services. Although 100% hypothetical,...the premise is made to find out how one might behave, in a given situation... Personaly,...I feel that,..all things being equal,...the humane, quick and painless death of a single infant ,..an action that would,.. 'hypothetically'....save countless lives,.......realy is a no brainer.... We need certain men who are capable of making difficult decisions,...terrible choices that would leave the rest of us in turmoil... and that is a fact..... then the question should be "could you kill a baby if ordered" a very different question to the one asked, I don't think it is all that different though Paul TBH, or the real question behind it anyway. The only way it would be possible for you to think you knew for certain that baby would turn out to be Hitler would be if you were indoctrinated to believe it. In other words "Are you capable of being led to do something that you'd never normally consider doing?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
