    Student in my physics class: ‘How much energy does it take to kill a person?’

    ‘Ok, assuming falling from 25 meters results in 100% death rate…’

    Morbid I know…

    Kind of weird that nobody talked about that eugenics kinda angle from the biological POV.

    What about “What biological features separate a child from an adolescent/an adult” - tough that almost falls in line with the philosopher

    I wonder what the maximum muzzle velocity for a child would be (without just killing it immediately).

      Assume an asbestos sabot so it doesn’t get incinerated.

      It’s maybe more the acceleration/shock? Probably a few tens of G before instant death.
