I just want to ask... Is this really your preferences? You'd commit genocide to save your family? That seems atrociously evil. How do you morally justify that to yourself? (Not a rhetorical question, I'd like to know the answer.)

...

Really? You wouldn't trade the lives of your family for the lives of billions? I have trouble getting my mind around the implications of something that, that, that... I don't have a word for it.
