l.E.a.p.s.

Today in LEAPS we focused on the E.... Ethics. It was nice to be able to discuss both sides of a issue. 
Here is the thing with ethics....
Consider murder.....
Murder is wrong. That is the "correct" answer.
But what about killing criminals? 
No, murder of any kind is still wrong. That is the "correct" answer.
But is that what you truly think?
If you could kill someone by simply writing down their name... would you do it?
If they would die of a heart attack...
no one could trace it back to you....
eventually people would catch on and realize that if they committed crimes they would die....
the crime rate would drop....
Is it still a bad thing to murder in this way....
If you could write down Osama Bin Laden and have him drop dead where he stood in 40 seconds.... would you do it?

Answer this...

If you could wield that kind of power, would you use it?
Would you play God?
