Would you kill yourself for money?
Let's say one day you wake up in a dark room. In front of you, there is a person who looks exactly like you. A voice over the loudspeaker tells you that the person standing in front of you [i]is[/i] you, from a parallel world. They are an identical copy; they have lived the exact same life as you, down to the tiniest detail.
The voice tells you that he will give you, say, a 100 million dollars, if you kill that alternate universe version of yourself. This will hold ramifications for the alternate universe -- if you have a wife, the AU wife will be sad, obviously. The same can be said for your other loved ones: your friends, your parents, etc. Your AU self will be completely gone from their lives, likely with the cover story of a fatal accident.
If you decide not to do it, your AU self will return back to his normal universe and life.
So, would you do it? Would you be willing to cause distress to your loved ones; even if you will never actually have to see these "loved ones" ever, since they are only AU versions?
After you finish answering that question, ask yourself this: would your answer be the same if that AU version of yourself was instead replaced with a complete stranger, from the same AU? As in, would you kill a complete stranger -- a stranger belonging to a parallel world -- for the sake of money?
Finally, the last question: would your answer be any different if the person you had to kill was a complete stranger, from[i] our[/i] world? (You do not need to worry about being caught)
*AU = Alternate Universe

Yes. I'd kill him for free.

1 ReplyI did it in Borderlands. Why not do it in real life?
-
I was really confused because I thought you meant "you may be dead but u have money"
-
i was hoping this was a "selling truck for gas money" scenario much deeper philosophy going on here *gets popcorn*
-
With absolutely 0 remorse
-
2 RepliesMmm... Nah. This made me think of that "Go kill yourself" mission in borderlands. I didnt do that one either.
-
No I wouldn't kill myself that's from an AU nor would I kill a stranger from the same AU for money.
-
-
No hesitation.
-
Think of it this way though: We would have to assume that there is more than one AU, right? We'd also have to assume that in each AU, you would answer the same way. What if by agreeing to kill the AU you, you're really volunteering to have yourself killed by another AU you?

2 RepliesKill all the alternates of me and become "the one" [spoiler]jet li ftw[/spoiler]
-
1 ReplyNope, me and my identical self would team up, kill the VoiceOver guy and take over both parallel universes. [spoiler]what if the voice over guy is also a copy of me from another universe??? [/spoiler]
-
Shoot near his legs a few times scare him a little, then leave.
-
Why no Hears loud boom
-
If you feel concern for your ALT's family and friends you lose. how do you know that your ALT is not evil? how do you know that your ALT would not do the same for you? if he was close to discovering a cure for AIDS/Cancer/Gay and Liberalism then i would let him live as long as he brought the cure back for me to take to my universe
-
1 ReplyYeah, have you guys ever seen the movie "The One" with Jet Li?
-
What a concept.
-
I would bang myself because I know all of my fetishes.
-
I'd do it for free.
-
Yes to all.
-
-
No no no no no no
-
Yes to everything
-
I'd do it I'd be more than willing to help myself out especially for 100 million
-
I would kill my alternate self. He would be thankful.
