Some zombies start attacking a small town and one by one the superheroes who go to stop them become superzombies!!

Zombies that can fly, throw trucks, shoot laser beams out of their eyes, etc.. oh my! The fantastic four zombies!

Not sure how the movie ends or how the superzombies are defeated yet.. hmm..

Who says that we wouldn't be better off as zombies?

Dad! You killed the zombie Flanders!
Flanders was a zombie?

a tough situation. Ultimately, not moral, but justified in this instance. As there is no time to properly allow the person to die whereupon he would be dispatched, and because he presents a danger in the near future, and because the torturous process of being eaten was obviously a hellish death, it is permissible in my view to have shot him. Perhaps this mercy killing was in fact justifiable?
Now, you are at war with these things. keep that in mind. In war, sometimes certain things happen that are outside the realm of good morals but help to ensure your survival. hmmmm. just a postulation mind you, I am unaware of any circumstance in which mercy killing is justified. It might take something this...outrageous to do so.

Take this test, ye zombie fighting people. I scored a 75% chance of survival in case of zombie attack. Keep in mind, if you act with Christian charity during this process it will lower your chance of survival.

Level 8
You have a 77% chance of surviving a zombie outbreak!
You have a great chance of surviving.

This is what a lack of Christian charity but without complete ruthlessness gets you. Hey, they're Zombies, I figure killing them is like casting out demons, no mercy....

I got 74% too.

What I've learnt from Resident Evil (game not movie) is that unless you've got a sure fire way to cure a zombie infection (ie green herb, antivirus etc) I'd shoot the person before he changes cause you dont know what else he might mutate into...

I think we can all agree that Resident Evil is patently unrealistic in its portrayal of zombies. I mean, come on! Common sense tells you that zombies don't mutate. :lol_roll:
