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.
More important question,what kind of sick bastard would do something like that? Well anyways there are a number of things that would come to question. If I were to choose my parents,what would happen to me? Probably grandparents but still,not a very good backup due to age. Also my brother is special ed so how would this effect him as well,and me to I guess. Also this would haunt me for the rest of my life.. Um I couldn't actually choose because I know my dad would take a bullet for me being how my christian comes from his side. Well I guess,no I wouldn't. It sounds selfish I know but I still have a full life ahead of me and they don't and if I was to die,it would drive them insane! Also I'm not nice enough to give my teachers a brake lol.
The choice all depends on how a parent may be to the child. The child would have to really care for their parents well being and feel that they mean everything to them, so much that they give their life.
I honestly would take a bullet for my mother because I really care for everything she has done for me and I would never want her to die. My dad always teaches me to be tough and has helped me get where I am today. I would take a bullet for him also, but they would want their child to live on, I'm sure. Parents are just like that.
1. Skyla, take our life, we can't live through our lives knowing we could have saved you.
2. Skyla, you've got so much to live for, we're going to die in 5 years even if you don't save us.
My thoughts:-
1. Mom (I don't really care for my father,) don't let me do this, I'd rather die than live my life without you.
2. Mom, please live on with your life, don't think too much about me.
3. Mom, I love you so very much!
--------
So, I can conclude, taking both party's thoughts into consideration, that I would die for my parents, because I'd have a terrible life without them.
What irritates me about this, is that it is some sort of paradox. If you die for them, you believe you are helping them out, when in reality they REALLY and TRULY want to die for you. But through the centuries our belief that 'death is bad' has grown larger, and we wouldn't want someone we truly love to die.
By the way, this can be used as a test, if you think you love someone, but aren't sure, you could always put both of you in this situation, and ask yourself if you would die for them.
this is a very interesting topic in witch is also very hard to answer seeing as i am not on great grounds with my parents (and im 12) i would probally live on my own life not out of hatred for my parents i still love them and all that but because i still have my whole life to lead. so i would have to say ide live on only because (im guessing all parents have said this in my next quote)
i would die for you
so i would stick with on me living but this made me think about how young i am to already be on not-so-great grounds with my parents
I am of the assumption that more people would be upset if I died than if my mom did. Sounds selfish? If she died, my grandparents and me, a few of her friends and all of her pets would be affected. I I did, she and my grandparents, my girlfriend, my friends and my online acquaintances would pressumable be sad. They'd also loose entertainment. But the final weight on that decision, is that I could live with the guilt, but won't die with the pain of knowing who I leave behind. Not yet.
wow... my life. i'm only here cause my mom gave birth to me.
but... my dad's already gone... i know she would want to see him again... if i leave... she'll have no one left cept her sisters and mom... i couldn't live(or apend my afterlife) with the guilt on either... oy...
I would pick my life cuz my parents have raised me to have a good life. If I let them live then I would ruin there life and they wouldnt want to live because I would be gone. ___________________________________________________________
