This is a quick pole for a project i'm doing, but we can always make this out into a discussion!

If you feel like it, go ahead and justify your vote.

Well, thanks!

Wow! I voted with the majority! (hehe first vote)

I don't believe that my life is productive; my children are grown up. My wife is keen to dance, to travel - and for me, that is a trial, because of my disabilities. I take far more from life than I give ( I am a medical 'parasite' ); if I was single and knew that I could give up my life for anyone else's sake, I would- like a flash. It would be pure logic.

I voted, "my family, relatives, friends, etc.", but in all honesty, I don't think I would be willing to die for more than about a half dozen people in the entire world. (I guess I don't have much of an extended family or many friends when I look at it that way. )

If it came to something like a movie where a meteror is going to crash into earth killing everything unless someone stays behind to remote detonate the bomb, I would gladly sacrifice myself. I would think it to be selfish to refuse to die so many could live. I would let my dreams be shattered so others can fullfill thiers.

I've always found it hard to answer these kinds of questions because it's wholly improbable that I would ever be in the position of saving a million lives. No, I would probably not give myself to save a newborn---soon enough, I will have newborns of my own, and they would need their mother. I would probably sacrifice myself for my family, though.

They should be improbable ... they're hypothetical situations.

I voted for the "excluding family..." option largely because I know that most of my friends would not want me to choose them at the cost of a large number of other lives.

Strange options.... none apply completely and the option to vote for more than one doesn't exist.

Since I would rather be dead anyway, if the opportunity arises to sacrifice myself so someone else can keep on living, I'll gladly be there.

Hmmm... if I would rather be dead, is giving up my life really a sacrifice?

Hmm, I will refrain from voting as one choice produces the assumption of rejection of the others...

I would most definately sacrifice myself for a newborn, as I know the pain caused by the death of one, even when it is not yours.

I would hope I would sacrifice myself for any human being...
