In a ZA would you lose your humanity?
So what would you do?
Would you remain as human as possible, because lets face it, the world is f**** and we need to work together to help build a better future.
Or would you turn bandit because in this bleak world, there is no law enforcement and government any more to prevent your actions. So you would kill other people for supplies and for the sake of survival, you would lose your humanity.

If willing to get rid of a problem for the good of my group, be it kill them or leave them for dead means that I'm losing my humanity, then that definition means YES, I picked NO though. I'd want to be more like Lee than Rick or Shane. Rick has lasted longer than both Lee & Shane...... and has started to lose his humanity, or saneness.
In a ZA, would you do various actions for a klondike bar?
In a ZA, would you let the dogs out?
In a ZA, would you kindly?
In a ZA, would you just look at that?
In a ZA, would you hit it?
In a ZA, would you, or will you?
In a ZA, would you yell it from the rooftops?
In a ZA, would you ZA your ZA?
In a ZA, would you keep making "In a ZA, would you..." threads?
Second, how on earth would you be able to predict something like that? Everyone that says no to the question obviously don't think so considering current events, but would they in that situation? And all saying yes are either doing it jokingly or they are pretty close to losing it now, which is disturbing.
In any case it's a very strange amd vague question, and impossible to answer in our current state.
It really depends on whether my family survives, if so I'd do whatever needed doing to make sure it stays that way, strangers only having value in so far as they increase the odds of that.
Without them, though? I suppose I'd join a group, but I doubt I'd take any unnecessary risks for strangers, or allow the needs of others to endanger myself. Eventually things will quiet down and people start to rebuild, if I'm still alive I won't be alone, I'm not THAT good.
Would that constitute losing your humanity?
In real life I'm a loner, not exactly by choice. Mostly because in my life growing up people made a lot of choices for me, and that put me on a path where I couldn't put down roots anywhere or have any friends. The result? Well, in a zombie apocalypse I'm not going to be any lonelier than I'm used to.
Seems like that's what gets everyone, the whole being alone/losing people thing.
By the TC's standard I've probably already lost my humanity. If by murder, you mean kill someone for no reason, or just so you could take their stuff, no I wouldn't do that. If you mean I would kill someone to ensure I survive? that's a no brainer. Even then though, a lot of whether or not I'd kill someone would be context dependent. Not going to do it for no reason, but if I think that's what I go to do to go on living? No problem.
So yeah...I'd be the hero-type. Of course--I'm not stupid enough to put myself at impossible risks trying to save someone, but I ain't just gonna pass over people who need some help!
Gonna take a pistol-crossbow and longbow just in case the scum try to attack my friends, coz not all guys will see it my way!
You mad?
Everyone would (as long as you survived long enough to lose it) it could take months though,but eventually it will happen.
So yes, the humanity I hold today would all but be abolished in this event.
-please forgive my spelling.
Of course, this is all theoretical. Who knows how they'd actually behave if they were really faced with a situation like the end of civilization.
Throw all that out the window and at BEST, to survive, you end up like Rick.
That's the best I'd hope for. I don't mean TV Rick, either. I'm talking comic Rick. Sits on a truck and talks to an empty phone Rick.
At best.
I believe it would be possible to retain humanity in some form, keeping to your morals, your ideals and such. It would be more difficult always, and there would be plenty of times where you simply cannot do the right thing, for one reason or another. It really depends on the individual a lot, and their own willpower and desire to stay true to themselves, i think.
In the end, no one can be right or wrong here because we just don't know how this would play out if a real zombie apocalypse would happen. I'd try as hard as i could to retain my own humanity, and would die before i dropped to the levels of a bandit. Though that probably wouldn't be necessary, since I would likely freeze in terror at the sight of a walker, and likely fall prey to the apocalypse before i could learn to accept it.
