There is just a single person who I very much wish were dead, and for very good (to me) reasons. But as I pointed out, their death (no matter how much satisfaction it would bring to me, particularly if at my hands...) simply does not rank in value over my own life, comfort, and freedom. It`s a matter of value, not morality. Plus they certainly can`t have too much time left... for reasons having nothing to do with me.
I am a fairly
cold person, I admit.

But what if the soul has no relation to consciousness or emotions? What if it was just like, I dunno, there? :P

There would have to be some sort of negative consequence to giving it up or it wouldn`t be much of a price to pay or a sacrifice to make. And I think that is the point of this thread - to ask what you would make a very very large irreversible sacrifice for. If it were just there, and nothing happened if it were gone... Why would it hold value to begin with?
I sort of wish I could be a sweet and wonderful person and say that I`d happily sell my soul to fix my son (medical problems, extended hospitalization, developmental issues, mental retardation, etc...)
But I honestly wouldn`t.
