Poll: would die to save a stranger

[Grayjack]

Even if I knew them, no.

 

[Toastngravy]

No.
If they are going to die "randomly" in 30 seconds they were probably a long term smoker...or some criminal...
Had it coming.

 

[SharPhoe]

So is the other person. I guess I merely assumed that you would prize your life over that of an 'equals', and only give your life for a 'better'.

TO be completely honest, I didn't and wouldn't even take that into account. I mean, honestly, who am I to judge?

 

[BakaSmurf]

Hell no.

How do I know that this Stranger isn't some evil Puppy-torturing Neo-Nazi Rapist? They can go ahead and die as far as I'm concerned, 'cause I'm not gonna risk saving the life of who could possibly be the Devil-Incarnate.

 

[AvsJoe]

Depends on the stranger's age and health conditions, among other things. I'm not going to make any great shakes in this lifetime, but I want the person I save to at least be capable of doing so.

 

[captain thunder pants]

if he's about to be hit by a car id laugh

 

[MortisLegio]

sure unless its from zombies

 

[Jacobistheshiz]

I would probably go a stop whatevers going to kill the person without me getting killed. Unless it's an natural disaster or air or space craft crash.

 

[joe182]

Fuck no, unless, as people have said, they're gonna' cure cancer or AIDS or something, it's my life, I'm not gonna get another one so why would I throw it away to save a stranger?

 

[dubious_wolf]

HELL NO, i probably wouldn't even if i did know them. Sorry my genetics are to valuable not to pass on.

 

[DarkRyter]

If the stranger was like a kid or something. Even then, who knows? I might chicken out.

 

[ElephantGuts]

No, of course not. Why the hell would I? Why would I assume their life is more important than my own, or they are more deserving of theirs than mine? Even if we were equal, there's no reason I would do such a thing unless I was suicidal anyway, which I'm not.

I can't imagine the reasoning that would make someone give up their life for that of a complete stranger.

 

[Stormz]

No probably not, I have no reason to give up my life for someone I don't know.

 

[riskroWe]

Maybe if I was going to commit suicide anyway...

 

[Blood_Lined]

I cannot stand by and watch somebody die knowing that I can save that very person's life, the guilt would make me wish to rather die anyways.

 

[Ladie Au Pair]

If it was a child yes, any one else, probably not. Just being honest.

 

[antipunt]

You have...no idea who he is?

Wat? What if you're resurrecting a mass murderer?
