hmmm how about severe blood transfusion's and organ transplants im type O+ so i would be able to give out enuf blood to counter it hopefully. and if not that i would just blow my self up along with a zombie hoard as vengence.
Depending on how bad the situation was I may choose option 3.
I'd imagine a situation with no food, no water, surrounded by Walkers with no escape and add to that this scenario. Option 3 might be the best way to go.
I seriously can't imagine being able to do it. I can't even write the words. She's only 10 months old and I just can't even pretend.. I think I'd rather trade my life for hers so yep.... That'd be a better question for me... Good thing a ZA isn't very likely.

Yup. I think the people claiming that they'd be totally okay shooting their kid in the head can't possibly have kids in the first place. (No offense.)
luckly i don't have kids so i don't have to make that choice but if somebody asked me to kill there infected child i would propley will but I'd happily murder someone else's.
We'd put her down once she turned. But I like to think that we're competent enough parents to keep her safe and teach her how to keep herself safe once we weren't around. :P (Our daughter's 15 months. It is tough just to think about lol.)
I am the mother of three grown children. If one of them were bitten, and it were somewhere, say, in the shoulder, that could not be amputated, then I would sit with them and hold them and talk with them until they died. Then I would would put a bullet in their brain before they could come back, because I know they would not want to come back as something that would harm what humans were remaining. If any of my other children or my spouse were still alive, I would try to go on. If not, I would kill myself.
I agree with this. There's no way I could do it while they were still alive. I would be an emotional wreck cradling them while they passed. And I'm not sure if I could be the one to pull the trigger once they had died. If my husband or brother were around I'd probably ask them to do it. But if I was by myself or with strangers, then I would probably have to be the one to do it, before turning the gun on myself that is. I couldn't/wouldn't want to live after that.
Originally thought it was an interesting question. After reading through the thread, it's actually pretty messed up if you really think about the reality of it.
I would probably hesitate at first, because this is your own child. o.o. Taking the time to raise them for so long, then knowing that you have to kill them? But of course, this is one of those, "in the moment" situations (which will never happen LOL). So, can't really say what I would do if I were put in that situation. I'd probably just want to die with them since it was my purpose of protecting them and making sure I'm alive to protect them. I'm thinking about this too much, oops. lol

Yeah, me and my hubby have an understanding that if we were both still around, he would have to do it. But I don't think I could or would kill myself. It would be a disgrace to their memory (from my point of view). If me and my husband were both gone, and our extended family as well, who would remember our daughter? The people who watched her die?
But I do think I would turn into the world's hardest ice queen lol. I'm talking, making Lilly (played from sided with Kenny POV) look like a kitten

That's a good point about the memories, but if it's a full-blown Apocalypse. Then your memories will become so tainted by the violence and corruption of others that holding onto past memories will be the only good memories you have left. That one bright memory in a blackened world. And in the end (as you suggested) it will only drive you to become a more bitter and vitrol-filled person. Therefore becoming corrupted yourself.
I'd rather die pure.
But I suppose I'd write down something in a book or paint it on a wall "here lies a once loving family" and share some of the memories there before passing.
Stay with my child until he turns, then I will kill him or get some else to do it, but it will never happen. If an zombie invasion does somehow start and my child turns into a zombie, I will be ruined and finished. In the game I really wish clementine won't die and turn into one of those things or I wont play the game anymore. Clem is the best character and I hope she survives.
Okay, I can't be very serious about this since I don't have a child of my own, but if I really did, I would put him out of his misery. It would probably drain all of my life out of me too.
I would want to die but would never take my own life, my moral fiber would be drained and I would likely be a husk of what I am now, in otherwords I Wouldn't enjoy it, but I wouldn't let my son/daughter walk around as one of them, be it locking it somewhere, tieing it up, or binding it, or killing it... I wouldn't Let them be in a position to harm anyone else.
Edit: and thinking on it alittle more, I don't think I would be able to comprehend that they were gone until after they've turned, so if something like this ever does happen ill be sure to tie/lock/bind them in preparation.
As a parent that has had to make this type of decision for their child (Not a ZA obviously). You would do it as you want your child to be safe or better, but failing that just for them to not be in pain anymore. And that is more important than your own suffering.
But making that decision and carrying it out will live with you every day for the rest of your life.

Sorry. Can't really answer this question haha.

You can't kill what is already dead.... only... de-activate it.

"Hey, why is Joseph eating so much?"
"We're all hungry, aren't we?"
"OW! He bit me!"
"He's REALLY hungry."
