Now we have a demon that can actually kill someone who has more than 5 minutes to live. Put on your iron shirts, folks!

If we allow the demon to succeed the creator of this scenario wouldn't be entrusted with the tech to pose the question thus preventing it from ever happening in the first place.

I think even in reality most people choose between "save one more life" and enjoying more liberty every day in their lives, without even knowing it. I do not let "if I can save one child" be a basis for sacrificing any liberty or rights in general.

In a small example, people choose to go to fine dining knowing that the money for the gourmet meal may quite literally save a dying child in a poor country if used for charity. While that should be a right for those people do to, they are not aware of of that choice being made.

Demons aren't real. Unfortunately many people would choose to let real people suffer and die while imagining themselves fighting evil.

Rape was, if the assailant employed a modicum of discretion, effectively legal in the 1950’s. A feminist book started a movement to bring awareness to it and actually criminalize it in the mid 70’s. Sooo maybe weigh that in, everybody.
@sentientist -
you're def right about this, but is the legal status of rape a gender role thing? I thought "traditional gender role" meant something like "cooking in the kitchen," not "rape is legal."
