Hi all! I'm posting the question here because of the limited number of letters in the question field:
Terrorists hijacked a fully occupied passenger plane and threaten to do a terrorist attack.
Would you as the head of state give the order to shoot it down and kill the innocents inside?
Or would you decide not to give that order and to permit a potential terrorist attack?
Please keep in mind, whether the state should be allowed to decide on life or death.
Thank you all for helping me with that.
cheers,
Jonny
PS: I'm writing a term paper about dilemmas at the moment and would like to have some international feedback to this question. It would be cool if I could get as many votes as possible
