What about your family/friends?
I've been on these forums for a while now, and have yet to see this question asked: What would you do if someone that you were close to (emotionaly) became infected with the Z-virus? Someone that was family perhaps? Or a spouse? Even just a close friend? Would you be able to kill them? Think about this before answering. Even though they are a zombie, they would still resemble your loved one, and your mind would still asociate them with the emotions that you had for them while they were alive/human. Could you honestly kill them? And don't just answer with "Of course I could." or something like that. I find that, unless you are/have been in that position, you cant really be sure.

Good Question. if it were my friends or neighbors yes i could. but my wife or kids. shit man i doubt it. If it was my wife id just throw her outside with the rest of the zombies. But theres always those situations where you have no choice to kill your mom or who ever. its kill or be killed. good question

At least I've gotten one person to think about the unthinkable. That's one less person who'll be unable to make the decision if that happens.

To answer my own question, I personally would be able to "kill" (would it be kill, even though their un-dead?) my father and younger brother (I dont have the best of relationships with them). As for my mom, honestly, there's no way that I could bring myself to do that. Especially considering all that she's given up for me. I'd probably be able to incapacitate her, but not end her not-life.

You pose a very good question. For all the grand standing people do, this is the question that really counts.
If one of my loved ones became infected in the initial stages of an outbreak, I really don't know how I'd handle that. I'd imagine I'd end up getting infected myself before I could wrap my head around what was happening. If a loved one became infected at a later point, after we had managed to survive the initial horror of the dead not dying, I still can't say for sure. If it was my wife or one of my children, and it put the rest of us at risk, yes. I could and would do it. The bigger question is would I survive emotionally. That I can't honestly answer.
If an outbreak goes global and the human race is going to survive, the most important thing is us making the realization that the undead are no longer the people we loved. If we can't do that, and survive the aftermath, we have no hope. People can talk shit all they want, but in the end your mental state, and your ability to remain rational is all that will keep you from being food.

Your not the only one who has been thinking about that question and i know what you mean, but it really depends on if your loved one is still "basically" human(not dead yet). If that loved one was i wouldn't do it. I would say my goodbyes then wait until the loved is dead then put a bullet in their brain. It wouldn't be easy but it has to be done.

No real easy answer but I would its like one of my dogs once he was in pain so i ended it all with a bullet but did it in a respectful manner I would not relly be as quick to pull the trigger but i still would i know thay are uncureable,unresonable,unable to think for themselfs,and are basicly trying to turn me into one of them so i would say i would but would still hold a proper funiral and by proper i mean a 6 ft deep grave maked with a cross marked "he fought he died he came back but i ended it all with a shell" But you know the human mind is unpredictable

my mom and i had to kill my sister in law because she was bitten.it was hard,but we had to make a quick decision, because she was 8 months pergnant,and we wanted to try to save the baby. my brother couldn't do it, so my mom and i did it..its not an easy thing to have to do. but i would rather someone kill me then let me become a zombie.

I'd kill them only if I had to. Say, I'm stuck in a small place with him/her that's surrounded by zombies but heavily secured. Then I'd kill them no matter what. But if the place wasn't surrounded by zombies, I'd quick rush them out and find a spot where they couldn't return to the shelter.
