An uncomfortable ethics question.
#2
RE: An uncomfortable ethics question.
I think if I forced myself to answer the question honestly, I would have to choose myself. In the heat of the moment, you never know what you will decide. I know that there are important people in my life who literally need me there. I know I don't want to die in lieu of complete strangers, so it is probable that I would choose myself.

I would like to think that I would be able to play the hero, but that's most likely not the case. I might risk my life to save them, but to give it over in a choice like that, I just don't know if I have it in me. Now, if I knew those people, my answer may be different.
