Nope. I'd rather go down knowing I cause mass hysteria and panic when I announced, "Hey guys...I'm going to let you die."
Then I'll starve to death/run out of air.
Ah you ungodlike bastard.

I would do it, that way people will put me on their coins, in statues, on cereal boxes, forever and ever.

Only if I get to pray to the Holy Materia and then be stabbed through the chest and then laid to rest in a REALLY deep pool of water, only to return later as a ghost and giggle endlessly as people attempt to bring me back to life.

What difference does it make? Choices only have meaning when you're choosing between *different* alternatives. "Could I die this way or . . . die some other way?" Who cares.

Would it really matter if you didn't sacrifice yourself? I mean no one would be left to be angry at you.

HAH!

In a heartbeat!

What else will you do that's so meaningful in your life? Fleeting pleasures such as sex or the ownership of expensive goods?

I hate people too, but I would set a powerful example of a higher standard.

...

And don't you DARE say anything about subjective, ever-shifting standards, because that's a black hole of a discussion that will spiral into inane hair-splitting madness.

Edit: My brother always told me I had a messiah complex. My last two serious girlfriends were suicidally depressed, and I was their armchair psychiatrist.

Truth is, I'm ready to die whenever, and know that I lived a good life.

If it's all just a joke, a chance, then I'm going to make it my own. Seems like such a waste to just commit suicide when you're still valuable as a member of society.

Ok, it seems people are doing it mainly because 'well, I'm dead either way'.

How about a twist on the OP, without wishing to hijack it...

Would you sacrifice yourself to save say, Europe, Australasia and the Americas?

If you had some miracle genetic strain and you were the only person who had the right makeup to defend against a new virus, but they had to kill you to harvest enough material to create the antivirus?

Turns out there's been outbreaks in America, France, and New Zealand, but they've locked down all international travel. So, the virus will spread slowly but uncontrollably unless you sacrifice yourself, but its some utopia where the government won't have you immediately carted off and killed.

I'd probably demand 24 hours of pure pleasure but then yes.

The object isn't to find some magic solution btw, its a simple would you die to save millions of people, even tho its a disaster that the human race could possibly come back from. Maybe once those continents had been scourged the human race could start to repopulate.

I'm already predicting a few 'well it'd probably be good for the world and humanity' posts already!
I would...but I would wait about a month. Seems like a good way to curb overpopulation. After that I would request copious amounts of money for any of my loved ones that are still alive. Then, I would undergo 23 hours of experiencing every lavish thing I can; followed by one hour of atoning for every sin I committed in those previous 23 hours. Finally, I would willingly die for my fellow man.

I might also request my name and image be put in every history book after my death.

Yup, I'd do it regarless of whether or not it would succeed. If there is even a 1% chance, its worth it. Plus, either way your fucked. Might as well go out a hero.

Honestly mostly all of you guys are thinking about it the wrong way. I mean to be honest my answer would be YES hands down because I mean I don't want to have to watch my family and friends die all because I don't want to kill myself saving the planet. I would rather die saving the ones I loved but I guess you all have different opinions on it. So if there ever was a time where they came to me I would say Yes.

I probably would. Preferably while playing some fitting music.

I'd do it if everyone knew that I did it.

If I'd just end up an unsung hero then fuck humanity. I ain't killing myself for no reason.

EDIT: Damn this thread is old.

If it got me a free ride into space, I guess I could be bothered to save the planet while I'm up there.

Wow this is an old thread, but what the heck right?!?!

I would sacrifice myself. I mean both outcomes I die anyway, I might as well take the good path. I may even die a hero, rather than just die along with everyone else.

Now if I had a tardis, I would say fuck the world, I am outa here.

I guess so. If I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die saving other people.

Hell, I'll be crying the whole time regardless one way or the other.

Wow, this is four years old.

Is the end of the world from an invasion of ghosts and various undead?

This really depends. Is the world in such a state that it will fall apart anyway? I would save it anyway since there are far more stupid deaths and I would accomplish something.
