Architect1776 Loc: In my mind
 
If there was a technology that would be of great and significant benefit to every person of the USA and improve life immeasurably but in order to obtain this technology it would be required that a randomly selected 50,000 people in the USA must die each year. Should the US allow such a technology to be implemented knowing this would be the price for obtaining this technology?

Yes. It will help with over crowding as a bonus.

The new technology will not benefit those in the 50,000 category😟

Is it hair extensions you can swim in?

Just pick from the Darwin Awards (round 1). Must be plenty who didn't reach no.1 and complete the task to choose from.

If Steve Jobs said this about the technology would he be allowed to introduce it for sale to anyone with the money to purchase it knowing that it would be used to kill that many people randomly.

And for about twice the price of existing technology with the same "kill rate" 😲👍😁
