i would almost have to have the knowledge of 3000 years in advance to see if the act was worth it. if you killed the 63 people as humanely as you could and you knew that countless upon countless people would not suffer for 3000 years to come than it would be worth it. this is also saying that people would live in harmony w/ each other. but as someone else said that would be taking away free will and i don't know if i could handle that. i just wish the human heart wasn't so cruel and selfish in some people where war and murder is justified. we do behave like the animal kingdom in that we kill for territory, authority over others, and commodities like food or oil. but you would think w/ our logic and knowledge we could overcome that. if we grew up in a loving society where strong values were given to being good to your fellow man and there were core beliefs that looked down upon murder and such, then it would be a lot easier to have world peace. it's all about the children and how they are raised. the problem is breaking the cycle of violence. w/ nuclear weapons becoming easier and easier to come by, we better become a more peaceful world or some idiot is going to finally start a nuclear war. then those 63 are going to become millions or billions.
