Quote:Are our own lives worth as much as 10 people? How would you answer the question?


Yours? No.

Mine? Absolutely. Only ten? Pshaw. An indefinite number. And no, I'm not being at all flippant.

Would I allow everyone I love to die to save my own life? Probably,with deep regret and guilt.


As this a hypothetical question, I've answered as honestly as I can,stating what I think I'd do,even what I'd like to think I'd do.. In reality, I have no idea.
