Would you sacrifice a life to save ten? Hypothetically speaking of course.

For example, if a building was on fire and a person could go in and save a guarenteed ten people, but in doing so it meant certain death for themself. Would you tell them to go into the building and save the ten people?

No... can't do that.



I'd probably do it myself.



i probably don't.



Nope.



Around the Network

No. Let nature have it's course.

I wouldn't let myself die to save the lives of 10 people, and I wouldn't ask anyone else to do the same.

No idea. Just found it on a "witty quotes" website. Nobody was sourced...
