What would you do to save a life?

Me? Not much to be honest.

depends on whose life is in jeopardy.

Re: What would you do to save a life?

I would be willing to destroy the planet!

If it were a family member or a loved one, I would do anything, even give my own life.

For a friend, maybe take a bullet.

For a stranger, I dunno.

i would feed gypsy tears to african babies to cure them of aids

Kill up to three other people.

Use you as the Final Aeon to defeat Sin (Sorry, playing FF X again LOL)

For my closest of family in friends, I would do whatever it takes except those that violate my ethics. I would rather them die, and they most likely would also, than to do something that would force me to violate my basic ethics.

I don't know, and I don't think many of us do until we're put into a situation that will make us do something, or not act at all. I once dived into a raging sea to drag my sister out, there was no thinking about it, just instinct.

Funny thing is, most people have a code of ethics that looks down on letting people that you "love" be killed.

It depends on who.

Family: Give my life.
Friend: Not give my life, but probably a lot.
Stranger: Anything so long as I don't get injured in the process.
Enemy: Laugh at them as they die.

I have no one I consider an enemy.

Strange, I'd quite happily break a wrist or a leg for a stranger's life. The enemy thing is quite disturbing as well, probably over emphasised, though.

It depends on factors involved.

If I could safe someone and they definitely needed my help, I'd possibly do it if the situation was in reasonable control. For example, I would maybe save someone from drowning because the water isn't going to turn around and stab me. It's not worth losing two lives, and I'm a strong swimmer so it's not without a measure of control. If it was some whitewater river, I'd get help, cos to dive in would be irresponsible.

Muggings or whatever, not likely. No random person is worth me getting stabbed or killed, or being in any situation where my own death could be added to theirs.

What wouldn't I do to save someone, anyone?

Depends on who's watching and how heroic I look doing it

Remind me not to jump into a pool full of sharks around this guy.

Selfish bastard!

I don't think it's something that can be explicitly quantified. If you see someone in need of help, you either help them or you don't.

Side-note: HmmK? Another Whirly? I hope so? Question mark?
