For me this answer is pretty simple, and is whichever answer has the least suffering. That depends on how painful said illness is, how long it lasts before death, is it contagious? how contagious? and what can be done to reduce suffering on the kittens, and what suffering would the death of the kittens cause, and what about my sister? I don't think anyone has a right to life, infact (I hope this doesn't put me in an asylum) but if given the choice to detonate a terraton or whatever goes after megaton nuclear device killing everyone, and without risk, I would destroy the entire human race.Do animals have a right to life?
Except it's true. No human being inherently has right to anything. The only time we have rights is as defined by what society gives to us and what we give to others. I give others the right to not be attacked, to be stolen from, etc, on the assumption they will not do the same to me. (once you boil it down to the bare essentials, at least. In reality things like empathy come into play)
Sorry, I don't think I worded it right... I'm not actively seeking to kill people or anything, I meant that if we all died instantly, I don't think anyone would be at loss.
People who were permanently suffering woudn't have to suffer anymore and those who enjoyed life wouldn't have a functioning brain to miss anything. I mean it's just my opinion that the world would be better off dead, it's not my life goal to kill everyone :P
I didn't think you meant you had any interest in killing. The point is that if you are indifferent enough to the thoughts and feelings of others that you would have no problem ending civilization, then you may be severely antisocial or depressed. Nihilism is a disease, IMO.
Because I think I read you hate GIFs I am refraining from posting a Big Lebowski clip. Also, I suppose it is not particularly thought-provoking or relevant. My streak of never posting a GIF to Hubski (that I can remember - someone correct me if I am wrong, but I would be surprised) continues!
