"put down" a zombie if it used to be your wife/husband, father, mother, brother, sister, best friend, etc? I don't think I could, but thank God I will never have the opportunity.

    A relative? I'm not sure. maybe.

    99% of the people I work with? Most definitely, yes. I'm just waiting for the zombie apocalypse. :laugh: :laugh:

    Hell yes! My husband and I have discussed this. I told his *kitten* he better shoot me. And not be stingy on the bullets. He said ditto.

    I would. Once they're a zombie, the person they used to be is already dead. It is our civic duty to put down each and every zombie that we can.

    Two problems with shooting;
    (a) you need access to a firearm in the first place (highly restrictive gun laws over here)
    (b) ammunition runs out.

    My preferred weapon of choice would be a home-made adaptation of a halberd. An axe blade joined to a handle long enough to give a good reach but short enough to be useful in close quarters.

    That's why in the comic books Michonne is one of my favourite characters. :tongue:

    Husband? Ex so, yeah, no problem doing that.
    Co-workers? Easy.
    Friends? It would be very difficult.
    Relatives? Depends which ones, most I would have no problem.
    My kids? I'd rather kill myself.

    I am not sure but my husband has told me repeatedly that he will not hesitate to shoot me if I am a zombie. And his advice for me is to not think to just shoot.

    For my Other Half, I'd shoot his truck first. If he had no visible reaction to that, I'd consider him beyond hope and go ahead and shoot. Maybe multiple times...depends on if he irritated me that day :)

    My mind shuts down when I consider what-if on my kids. Can't do it.

    she would be going down hard if zombie-fied.

    I'd be unloading a clip on her *kitten*!

    yes i would not want them to suffer a mindless existence like that.

    we put down our pets out of love when they suffer, why would we not do that for the humans we love

    Totally agree with the gun thing, but if there is only one of you and a mob o zombies...yeah...your dead. Could I kill a loved one if they became a zombie...not sure. I would say yes now, but can't say for certain if I could if faced with that situation.

    I don't think this is something you could fully know how you would react without being placed in that situation. With that being said, there is no way I could if it were my kid. I would rather just die, too.

    It would be hard but more than likely you may have other relatives and friends to think about that are still alive that you need to help protect. You have to remind yourself they are already dead. It would be most difficult if it was one of my children.
