If saving the whole world meant that you had to die,would you do it?

yes, I’d do it in a heartbeat without question.

Of course! Though I would still be doing it for selfish reasons. My kids, my family, my friends.

If the whole world were destroyed, that would mean I would die too…
So I could die and save people and hopefully be martyred or I could die with everything and everyone else in the world.
Hmmm…

That is a lose lose situation though from my viewpoint – In both cases I die.

I’ll tell you what, if I were placed in a position where I had to make this decision I would be so resentful and angry at being placed in this position that I would let the entire world die with me. That’ll teach them ;)

Is trying to figure out if everyone would be willing to sacrifice their life if the stakes were high enough? Or is this just for fun and controversy? I must admit, I’m kind of flumoxed by the question. It doesn’t seem to be related to anything I know or have experience with.

This is sort of like asking if I would leave my job so that everyone could save theirs.

I would because otherwise I would be the only one there and stuck with all the work : )

I’m with dynamicduo on this one.

Yep, in a nano-second.

Like dynamicduo says, I’m going to die either way. But My answer is different. I’d do it to save the others.

I suppose after a bit more thought, I would have to die in order to save the whole world…but I wouldn’t be happy about it.

I don’t know how to brew beer. So if everyone that knew how to make beer was dead I might as well be dead too.

Of course I’d do it—I’d die either way, but at least one way the people I care about are taken care of.

Absolutely.

BUT, I get to decide how I die.

it would involve 4 beautiful redheads, 2 dozen cookies, and a basset hound

Most people are willing to croak for the globe, but say everyone else kicked the bucket, the world was not destroyed, & you had a mess of people to breed with. Now what? Croak & keep what’s here or breed up a new crew?

No, I don’t think I would….not 100% though

It would depend upon what I’m saving them from.

And, if I get to come back in three days or not.

Dynamicduo is right, you’re screwed either way. I would be the sacrifice in that case, because at least that way my having to die would be worth something.

Of course I risk my life for others as a Firefighter. To save the whole world with my life would be a bargain.

@ allure

good point. Even if the whole world would die except for me, I would get lonely :(. Definitely a yes wouldn’t see why not.

Easily. Although some ideas of methods of torturous death might make me flinch.

I plan to kill every one in the world to save it.
does that make me crazy?
