In the experiment which was aimed to investigate the struggle between obeying the authorities and personal conscience sixty-five percent were those who were ready to give a person an electric shock of 450 V which is more than enough to take human life while almost 100 % of them were ready to give a shock of 275V which in my opinion can also kill someone.
