If you could get anything one thing you want, anything, would you kill your best friend in exchange?

although one reason is because I don't need anything else in life. I have everything I need in life. Anything else would not make me happy- like a few million dollars. I don't need it.

No.

There is a reason this person is my best friend. He is somebody to whom I can confide things about my life and whom I trust entirely.

This is something which is extraordinarily rare in life, and indeed it is something built up over a period of time. The friend is not important, the relationship and opinion of eachother is, and that is intangible. If I asked for a "thing", it would be, in its nature, tangible, yet the most important thing to me is a relationship which is inangible.

The mere aspect of killing someone doesn't enter the question at all, let alone killing someone close. The killing of such a precious gift which is irreplacable and volatile in its nature is enough of a reason.

Sure, for world peace, and/or humanity's conquest of space, I'd kill my best friend. If they aren't selfish bastards, they'd go willingly, too. If they won't, they didn't deserve to be my best friends, anyway.

Definitely not, and it's a no-brainer for me.

I know, for example, that killing my best friend for world peace or an end to starvation would be a good thing for the humankind. I would not do that, though, nonetheless. Absolutely out of the question.

The whoe point of killing your best friend id that you make an exchange, your friends life for your power.

As for those of you who would wish for world peace, end to starvation, the golden age of humanity;
You unselfish bastards.

I would do it for Immortality.

Why does everyone think immortality is such a good thing? I can understand living for 200 years or 300 years (though I'm not even close ), but you must get somewhat bored after you've lived for half a millenium. Immortality is good only if you can actually die if you wish. Otherwise, it's horrible.
