would you shoot the person?

if someone was mindlessly suffering because one of their ears was totally plugged, and they asked you to shoot them to end the misery - would you?

well, would you?

Is he well-spoken? If he is, he dies.

sorry no prison for me ,I would leave it up to the sufferer to do himself in .

just drink yourself into a coma and maybe when you wake up it will have cleared

I suffer from bouts of vertigo on occasion . Once it was so bad I actually thought death would be better.

I'd tie the wax plug to the bullet then shoot away from the poor guy.

Here's a twist: What if he were going to explode in the next six minutes if you didn't shoot him. Would you give him the rope?

If his ear is plugged? I don't think that's nearly worth ending a life...

Only if the toilet plunger method didn't work.

I think they make ear drops for this malady,
or go see a doctor - they use the BIG tongs! I know -- done it!

What they would need to do though (prior to my shooting) is to take a big wad of cotton and jam it tightly into the RIGHT ear. Press....PUSH...pack it..wad it all in there nice and tight.
Now, take a shop vac and caulk around the rim of the hose end. Place over the LEFT ear and wait for the caulk to dry and seal against the skin, you may need to fold the ear a bit.
Next, turn on the vac and get ready for the ride.
The suction will pull the wadded cotton from the right ear, through the brain and out the left ear and into the vac, taking with it any wax, bugs, q-tip particles, or empty beer bottles. The result are absolutely squeaky clean ears.
Then of course I'd give him 5' of rope for free then shoot a hostage.

Nope. I would hand him some of this though, it should clear out any hearing problem.
