What would you do with the Death Note?

Ah! An L supporter.
Well like what was brought up in the manga, this topic isn't so onesided. But to each their own.

The power to end life seems to scare a lot of people here but i think it escapes us quite often that each of us does indeed already have the power to end life . . .not covertly like it would be with a deathnote but seeing as none of us (well most likely anyway) has killed anyone with our current "power", it's unlikely at best that any of us would really use it . . .

However you never know.
In Light's case he had never killed before he got the Death Note but he obviously had the strength to use it and became so murderous that a large portion of the human population had to have been eliminated by the time he died. Just because you haven't been put in the circumstances to which you would kill does not mean that you would kill. "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence"
