In a ZA, would you kill your crying baby?

Let's face it.

Zombies are attracted by sound.

Your baby makes a LOT of sound. And it requires to be fed, and to have medicines that would get you in a lot of danger to seek for.

Would you kill your baby and hope to make another one later on better days,

or would you be ready to have both of you killed and turned to zombies ?

My opinion is simple. It would be hard, but I would do it. If my wife doesn't want to and is in denial, well, she can go carry him over... Outside.

    We also don't know what it is to have a zombie apocalypse.

    I just imagine that if there are loads of walkers at my door, I would not agree to have them bashing it forever until they kill me because of this human alarm...

    If you had to do it for your own survival and the one of your wife, would you do it?

    Or would you have all of you killed?

    You did not answer ;-)

    Of course not. Just make sure you're out of reach, babies are silenced easily enough.

    I find no point in survival without propagating the species so no, I doubt very much I'd kill my baby.

    Ha! Actually the M*A*S*H finale was my very first thought when I read the thread title. I love the way he starts completely repressed and slowly opens up over that first half of the episode. That scene doesn't quite have the same impact without all that build up.

    Of course not. Besides, if I'm in the position where a crying baby is all it takes to get me killed, I'm doing the zombie apocalypse wrong.

    I mean seriously, if you are going to kill a crying baby. Fuck it feed yourself to the zombies. Because with this messed up logic humanity WILL die.

    I'm not a parent, but I think any responsible one would see the lives of their children, especially if it was an infant, much more precious than their own and would do anything in his or her power to protect them. What's the point in surviving a za if you lose everyone you loved and swore to protect? I can't see any parent killing a mere infant to save their own skin; that has to be one of the worst parents of all time if they did. If you think shooting a crying infant, who is also your own flesh and blood, would be something you could do.....well, lets hope you really can't in real life.

    I would be very reluctant, but yes. Not only is the baby loud but it doesn't feel right to raise a child during a zombie apocalypse, no child deserves to experience something like that especially Clementine, although she can look after herself to an extent unlike a baby. Plus, life expectancy isn't exactly high in a ZA, especially for a baby.

    And people shouldn't even be having babies in the apocalypse, wtf is wrong with them *coughcoughLoricough*.

    I don't have a kid. I answered yes. (Not planning to have one either) So, Would you like BOTH Of you to die, or just one? Do you know that, Well... Even if you risk yourself, The walkers would just break down in your house and eat you both. By killing the baby, you atleast save one life. Oh and kids are just yelling all day, I don't understand them.

    I suppose it all depends upon the actual situation and how far 'gone' you are. Obviously a sane, rational, person in a non-threat situation wouldn't even consider it but if there were dozens of ravenous zombies trying to get to you, being attracted by the baby's crying, and you knew if they got in they WILL eat you and your baby what then?

    Genetically we are all predisposed to protect our children and close family so some of our genes can be passed on, but we are much more predisposed to protect ourselves.

    I haven't got children and honestly I wouldn't do it if I was all there, but like I said in a snap decision situation where it is literally life and death for you both, will it be 1 death or 2?

    A kid doesn't work like that. There're numerous ways to make a child stop crying, without like, killing him or her. I don't know why you couldn't just put you hand lightly in his mouth. It's not going to make him silent, but it should reduce a lot of the noise, and if we aren't too close to the doors( Where ,I guess, are the walkers) it should work just fine.

    What're you talking about? Maybe you didn't understand. I'm not trying to kill him lol, he's not going to be asfixiated, my hand wouldn't be in his noise. Would be in his mouth. So he couldn't cry louder. Gotcha?

    If you didn't, try this: Talk. Then put your hand in your mouth, and talk again, the same thing in the same tone. And remember, lightly.

    If you're serious, then you have a sick mind. Humanity is screwed if you could kill your loved ones, to save your own skin.

    This is a stupid idea. If you are in this world the only way to really survive is to keep having children. That is the whole point, propagation of our species. If you would murder a child to save your own skin then what is the point of survival? You are far worse than a zombie for our species if you think this is the appropriate way to handle the issue. Besides if you are close enough to zombies for them to hear a child cry then you are already probably to close to them.

    Its abit like that movie where the mountain climber gets trapped and has to cut his own arm off with a penknife, so I was told, or he'll die. Now I don't know about anyone else but i'm going to have to be extremely far gone and extremely eager to get out to do that. Same with the baby, just the fact that zombies are at the door wouldn't be enough, i'd have to be at the absolute limit, having tried EVERYTHING before I'd even think about it and then i'd hesitate.

    Personally i'd probably hesitate too long and get the chomp, and poor baby would too.

    as a parent your supposed to put your childs life above everything.
    So if that means having to fight hordes of walkers to try to save your baby then so be it.

    • #1) Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a "glow" about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction. They often appear to be sexy or have a strong sexual attraction. Not all sexy people are sociopaths, obviously, but watch out for over-the-top sexual appetites and weird fetishes.
    • #2) Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.
    • #3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others.
    • #4) Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.
    • #5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.
    • #6) Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them. Their high IQs often makes them dangerous. This is why many of the best-known serial killers who successfully evaded law enforcement were sociopaths.
    • #7) Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.
    • #8) Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running "stream of consciousness" monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. They are expert storytellers and even poets. As a great example of this in action, watch this interview of Charles Manson:
    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIfGj_55FHI
    • #9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.
    • #10) Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it! Charles Manson, the sociopathic murderer, is famous for saying, "I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyone! I THINK it! I have it HERE! (Pointing to his temple.) I don't need to live in this physical realm..."

    In the trail of tears many babys died when Native American woman held there mouth to keep them quiet. Once the Military went past the mothers would find they held the mouth to tight and they died. So in fear people can kill there own!!!

    So in a zombie apoc im pretty sure the same would happen

    I was watching that show How i survived

    A father was out hunting with his son and a grizzly bear Grab him up (the son) in its mouth and violently shaked him. The father fought the bear off and then it let go. It staired at the father and railed back ready to charge the father. He had a bow & arrow and said a pray "GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH" He shot one arrow as the bear charge and hit it dead center in the skull killing it as its body went foward slideing into him.

    His son said im forever thankful for my dad he saved my life.

    Now thats how a man is supposed to act with his child HE DEFENDS IT.

    My baby won't cry. 50% of my genes are at least enough to make anyone a winner and not a crybaby. On top of that it will probably be immune.

    ...A zombie apocalypse is a complete different thing than a ... Hunting trip?
    The zombies will get you. You can survive animals, But can you survive the dead?
    Remember what Molly said.. "The dead always win". It's true.
