Would you die for someone you didn't know to save their life?

probably. i'd like to think i would. we never know how we will react in a situation until we are in it.

No I would not help because for the rest of my life I would wonder if they would have made it and I made a mistake.  I would never get over it either because there is no way to really ever know.

I would probably take a bullet for you, not even knowing you.\n\nYes, I would take a bullet for the president, that does not just mean this president whom I respect (although I have been losing some)- but also for Bill Clinton, whom I do not respect at all.\n\nThe loss of a present or past president from assassination is a huge thing.  People pass off the plot to kill Bush 41, and the need to respond to that as Georgie 43 trying to get the man who tried to kill his daddy.  It is not that simple.  The presidents are symbols of America, if one is killed would make many or all of us feel more vulnerable, just as 9/11 did.  They are the most protected people on the planet, if they are not safe than none of us are.  Further, this goes to embolden the enemies of America, and give them the courage to attempt to hurt us.\n\nBut on a strictly human level, taking a bullet for someone I don't know-- I would like to think that I have the courage for that, but also I would weigh that I have a family that needs me.  But if life is to be valued, then it is also worth sacrificing to save others.  Perhaps it is because "What Jesus Would Do"

Sure, if I'm saving someone's life after I am dead, that would be a kind thing to do. Oh the irony of it all!

Personally I would want someone to tell me. I mean really you could be saving someones life by telling them that. If they get an attitude just apologize and figure you probably won't see them again so who cares but I would definitely say something if I were in your shoes.

No one can save you except Jesus and only if you ask Him.\n I see your point if they were open minded they could see you are just asking a question.

You may feel that way today, but what about tomorrow, or next week.  It would be tragic if you took your life and spectacular thing were supposed to happen that you missed.  And what about your family and friend.  That would be a horrible heartbreak to give them.  Don't do it.  This too shall pass.

I don't know, you will somehow have to get in touch with them in order to find that out.\n\nI would think that they would be shocked by his death, I know that I am

No, I wouldn't kill him, cause then I would have to answer to God, but I would hurt him so bad that he would wish and pray to God that he was dead.lol

It would be EXTREMELY selfish to not sacrifice one life to save millions, but I would relinquish that choice to fall on that significant other. I could never make that choice for them.

Yes I would. When God saved my soul, He put a new song in my heart. He changed my life. I want to live for Him, and Serve Him. I want to tell the world that Jesus saves, and Jesus loves you. I have a desire to work for the Lord until he calls me home. No matter what the government, or anyone else saids, I will stand for my lord,as long as i live.  Even if it means death unto me. My God died for me, and I would die for Him.

I believe that every life is valuable, regardless of the person's physical/mental state. A person is a person.\n\nSo, I would save the thousands, because I would be saving thousands of valuable lives rather than just one valuable life. \n\nIt would be such a tough situation though, and honestly, I couldn't really say what I would do until I was in the actual situation.\n\nPS. What does that have to do with abortion?

You know what young man,I sure hope, if and when you take the course, you take it a little more seriously.It won't be a hoot if someone falls almost dead at your feet, you'll have to do the CPR without any feeling, other than wanting it to work....that's the rush,saving someone.Just some friendly advice, I'd want somebody to pull my coat.BEST TO YA.......LATER!!

Haha good choice on placing this under "Etiqutte".\n\nI guess it depends who and for what. I mean, firefighters and cops risk their lives every day to save people that they don't know. When SWAT teams are storming houses to free hostages and fire crews are racing through unstable buildings, they are willingly placing their lives on the line.\n\nPersonally, I think I would die for others if it was for a good enough cause (firefighting, police work, military)--but in most cases, the answer would be no. I'm not ashamed, it's okay to enjoy your own life, and it's not selfish.\n\nWanna know how to save someone's life AND live your own? Be an organ donor. When you die, you donate your organs to people who need them.

Most people would say "Could you live without him/her?"  I say "Could you die without him/her?"  Who's eyes and heart and soul would you want with you if you were on YOUR deathbed..............think about that.........no one helps you on that journey....but who would you trust implicitly?

who does?? it would seem to me you make your own life what it is.. why would you expect someone to save you?? and from what??

You know, I really like questions that allow you to get out of your present mode and fantasize the impossible.  This is a great question - too bad so many would not allow themselves to think the unthinkable and simply answer the question!!  \n\nI would never kill because I really do not hate anyone.  But your question allows me to do that without guilt, zero consequence, no hell and in this space, I'm going to have take that brain jump to this place and "live it" for the moment.\n\nThere is one person.  I don't hate him but I hate what he did.  He murdered my niece; my sister's first and only child when she was only 1 1/2 years old.  This was over 20 years ago when we were young and happily married to "Christian" men.   So given this questionable thought process, yes, I would do that...(geez, its really hard to write that "K" word, but that's what I'd do).  The reason I would do it is that though he had to serve 15 years in the military prison (he was in the Navy at the time of his child's death), what he did to that little girl is unthinkable.  I can't tell you the details because it is gory and just thinking about it actually  pains me.  I think I never allowed myself to want to hurt him because it was wrong to think it - not that I wanted to do it but I wasn't even allowed (as a Christian) to have those kind of thoughts, so we PRAYED for him.  Well, that sick B*****d hurt that little girl from the time she was born until 6 months when he broke both her legs and they took her away from him.  After a year, he coerced my stupid sister to return to their holy marriage and two months later, the baby was in a coma and later died.  Yep, I'd kill him!  There - I said it....
