About This Quote

This is a very distressing quote. It is about the victim of human cruelty and how they can be sacrificed for the greater good of society, and in this case, how people’s lives can be taken to save others. This quote implies that it is acceptable to kill in order to save others, and that we would rather take a life than not take an action when we know that our actions will result in death.
