So this is a question that's been asked time and time again whether by a friend or in the depths of your own mind. So let me lay out the question with all the rules.
You have the choice of either you or your parents dying. The death will be a bullet to the brain from the front of the face, point blank. Whichever answer you choose, your parents will be told beforehand, and you cannot consult with your parents before or after the choice.
This is a very tough question because of all the moral implications. One problem is based on your religion. Being christian or whatever it becomes a bit easier because you know you won't die, you will go to heaven or the other way around, the choice becomes a bit easier. But being atheist this is the end of everything. If you die you won't come back forever, this could end your life forever, nothing ever again, but it's the same fate for your parents. They are your parents, but they are older, you have more of your life to live for, and they would probably choose their own death.
If you choose your parents would you be able to deal with it for the rest of your life?
If anyone is honest enough to give your real answer whether here or on my comments, I promise I won't judge whatever your answer be. Or if what your thoughts are on the subject. I have an answer in my head if this happened but I keep my answer to myself, I like to reserve judgment and sit in the middle to see what both parties think.
Easy decision for me. There are 3 things in life I would die for, this this order: 1. God 2. Country 3. Family This falls under 3. I'd be willing to die for my parents. They wouldn't want it, but I couldn't live with myself if I knew I had chosen my own life.
I would not be able to live out the last of my teen hood knowing they died like that. I would rather go to heaven and meat my maker, although i am not sure he's ready to meet me.
I know my parents would want me to save my life and have them be killed, they to would be crushed. So i really don't know, i would take mine, but i would worry for my parents. So i just dn't know. This question honestly scares me to death.
This is a really hard decision, parents are older, but have already lived half there life, and they also gave birth to us and made us who we are, so yes. i would
yeah probably life really is rewarding and all but I think I would rather be with the big man himself anyday but he is with me all the time well yes I would choose my parents over me after all they have done for me yes
I'd save my parents. Luckily, I get along with them great, and I would want them to keep living. If I chose to save myself, I couldn't live with it. To be honest, I might as well commit suicide, but I guess I would have to be in that moment.
I have to agree with Ricador, this question is pretty scary. I honestly don't want to think about this alot, but I've spoke my mind....
