If, in part of your job, you capture an intruder at your workplace and used them as a hostage to call out their comrades, who had previously been found intruding and trying to steal something very important that you can't allow get stolen because protecting it is part of your job, and one of the people you know want to keep that intruder as a guinea pig (though you know that they probably wouldn't treat the prisoner badly, per se), and another wants to kill the intruder and all their comrades, but you think neither is a great idea, what would you do? I did as I was told and let them handle the decision making because my job is everything I have back home and I couldn't risk getting fired, but what if you could choose? Would it make a difference if it's an adult or a kid? This isn't ethically speaking, or what one should do, but what you would do in a similar situation, without caring about that.

[ So he recently remembered this scenario happening. He knows his decision wouldn't change because, his work in the military was everything that he had when he was alive, but if he'd had options..... He doesn't know what he'd have done then. Maybe that's why he's posting this question. ]

What a complicated question.

Is there a reason why the only two options are experimenting on them or killing them? You couldn't, for example, turn them over to the proper authorities or let them go?

This is convoluted and a slog to read through.

I wouldn't care enough to make a particular choice. Whatever the decision ended up being, by the person in charge, is good enough to go along with.

So I'd choose what you chose, and just went with my job. It's not as complicated or as much of a big deal to think through as all those words seem.

I'd do what I was told by my master.

[A moment later, the word 'master' is deleted and replaced by 'boss.']

[roundtablerebel]

I'd kill em

[ Seems pretty simple really. ]

Frankly? I would eliminate the intruder and their comrades. If they were used as a guinea pig, they could escape and cause you trouble later. I like to resolve problems neatly.
