Nah, I got super human powers, already.
But seriously, I still wouldn't. I barely have a social life as it is but I still need a chance to get one. I'll get one... someday.

We've all seen this game before, if you accept, it all starts out alright, but then, you start to discover that your employers are less than favorable fellows, you then decide to turn on them, then you kill all of them, you yourself being killed in the process, and you don't even get a piece of the pie. All because you were greedy. Tsk tsk.

Woohoo! Super powers!

Of course, I'd have 'em get me an apple pie first. Why not? They'd think I was being patriotic of something.

Quite a variety of answers. I'm a no. As awesome as it'd be, I'd miss my friends and family too much.

Yes i would. My mother and grandparents are nice and good people,father may be cynic of incredible proportions,but is generally a good guy,and there's one distant friend of mine who seems to be almost like myself.

And there's my little brother,who is a hybrid of Joker,Hitler,Freidrich Nietzsche,and Ice Queen. Even if gonverment supersoldier program would fail,NOT SEEING MY FUCKING BROTHER EVER AGAIN would be big enough reason for me to join.

I'd take the superpowers, and kill all the government officials and flee to the moon house I had made in case that kind of thing ever happened (or used my new powers to construct the house there in 3 seconds flat). I win, I get family and friends and superpowers! And a house on the moon.

'Fraid I just have too much to live for to become a nonperson in exchange for huge piles of cash. 'Sides, that cash could only do so much for me. Sure, I buy a huge house with a heated pool and all that... But what after that? I love video games, and since games are mostly connected these days, I assume buying them would count as "seeing my friends" and thus be ruled out.

Continue to be a poor gamer or become a super-rich nongamer? Such a silly question.

And now, if I may nerd out for a moment, this scenario is shockingly similar to that of Kal Skirata, one of the characters from the Star Wars: Republic Commando novels. He's asked to train Jango's top secret army of clones to fight like no human, Jedi or droid ever could in exchange for more credits than he could ever spend in his lifetime. The catch? He leaves everything behind. To everyone outside the military, he is dead.

Nope. Couldn't leave my family behind for anything.

Also, superhuman experiments can go bad, we only hear about the ones that go right (or at least mostly go right).

Who cares how much money if there's no one to spend it on/with? Also, would you have time to spend it anyway?

Also big risk of death.

If I they asked me when I was 19 I would have said yes. At 34 I have to say no.

Well just take a look at Prototype and you'll see what happens with all these superhuman experiments
