1. Kill the pet. The elderly pet couldn't fend for itself, and though I would be living heart-broken, better me than the pet. Have you, for example, ever seen a heart-broken dog? Miserable life, at best.
2. They can keep their money. A $1,000,000 won't buy the love and companionship of a loving pet.
3. Not much to say, I suppose. The attention defect has something to do with.... hey, look! A baby rabbit!
Dawn Coyote:- A group of aliens comes to your home in the middle of the night and tells you that they’re collecting earth specimens for study back on their home planet. They’ll take either you or your beloved pet. You’re a senior citizen, and your pet is getting on in years, too. You don’t have much contact with people anymore. It’s just you and your pet. They aliens tell you there’s one small catch: they’ll euthanize the specimen (you or your pet) before transport back to their home world.
Do you elect to die to further alien science, or do you let them kill your pet? Please give reasons for your decision.
- Ha ha! Just kidding, the aliens tell you. We’re not really collecting specimens, but we’ll give you $1,000,000 if you’ll let us give your pet a painless and deadly injection right now.
Do you take the money and let them kill your pet? Why or why not?
- Bonus Question (for lurkers and others): If you’re not posting much or at all, why not?
