I found this question online and thought I would share it with you guys. What are your views.
Is it truly worth it to die for a family member or friend? Yes, you’d be a hero, but that person would feel guilty for your death for the rest of their lives. Is that “brave” act actually cowardly because you’re transferring the guilt that you’d have felt if you did nothing and watched them die to your friend, who has to deal with the guilt of causing your death?
I would definitely die for a family member of mine, I'm not too sure about friends though... I think we all say we'd die for friends, and even best friends, but if it came down to it, I think we'd want to save ourselves. For family members though? Hands down, I'd protect them at all costs.
I agree with ForumSource. I'd die for a family member and theres no doubt about it. But friends comes a hard decision and it really boils down to what they have done for you in their life.
I think it would be a crappy situation to be in for either or, and can see pros or cons for both. I'm not saying what I'd do because I don't know, and won't know unless I am faced with a situation like the one you described which I hope I never have to find out.
Probably not. I can't think of anyone just off hand that I would relinquish my life for. Since my life holds no great moment's in the future that I can foresee, if a family had a child dying of a serious illness though they could probably talk me into exchanging my life for their's.
