People or Profit

RE: People or Profit
There are so many possible scenarios, I have trouble imagining that I would get myself into a position where my choices were that black-and-white. Offered a million dollars to assassinate a serial pedo-rapist maybe? No, the kids spared rape would justify it, the money would just be compensation for the risk of carrying it out. If offered a million dollars to assassinate a perfectly nice person, wouldn't do it. A billion dollars...I could use it to save the lives of a million perfectly nice people in developing countries, give the victim's heirs a million dollars each, and still retire a multi-millionaire. That would be tempting, though I suppose I would have to take up an empty life of whoring and excessive drinking to keep my mind off my guilt...I could certainly afford it, though!

An extra $10 a month in my pocket for putting someone out of work: never! An extra $10,000 a month? They were obviously way too overpaid if I can get that kind of money by firing them.

What I'm saying is, without the brass tacks, the question can't really be answered. How much profit at what human cost?
