Lightbulb Another Personal Decision Question

Again, think long and hard on your decision.

If you had the ability to either save a personal loved one or 10 strangers from certain death what would you choose?

I would love to think that I could be unselfish and choose the 10 strangers. However, I don't think I could bear the thought of knowing I could have saved a loved one and did not. The way it stands I would have to say I would choose to save a personal loved one.

I would do what ever I have to in order to save one of my Love ones. I would not have to think twice about this, that is what I would do.

One of my loved ones. No question. No need to think long and hard, as that energy will be needed to decide which, if you can only save 1.

It's sad when you think about it...not saving 10?

Really you could change that to 100 strangers and the answers would probably be the same. I just think of my wife, and then think of 10 strangers. Could I live with myself if I didn't save her? No way.

I'd save a loved one first - no matter what.

What's there to think about?

Yes it may seem selfish, but loved ones come first!

Is any of these strangers Z-Man with that winning lotto ticket?

(Put Mr. B in the group of strangers, they don't know he is my loved one.)

Got to go with family first on this one.

Good one sindy.

Seriously I would have to go with everyone else and say I would save a loved one. Family comes first.

I agree with all, the problem is WHICH loved one do you save? I'd hate to have to choose between Bonnie & Caleb.

absolutely the loved one, even if one of the strangers life where saved and that person found a cure for cancer per say, would life be worth living knowing you let your loved one pass for the life of a stranger? Ponder that??
