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.
Well, since I don't have any I suppose I should answer this question. But I have guardians so I hope I can change the question... Answer: No! I wan't my life.
I would die so my mom could live. She has my sister and her granddaughters to live for they should get to grow up with a grandmother. Whether i go to heaven for my sacrifice or hell for my past deeds or even nothingness, i wouldn't mind. i can't honestly say i'm afraid of dying, i'm not, i'm afraid of the people i love dying.

I doubt most of these answers are the truth. It's easy to say that you're that selfless. But I honestly wouldn't know until I was in the position to have to. Then there's also the fact that my parents would want me to have them die and myself live and so the knowledge that they are only alive because their son had himself killed would probably destroy the rest of their lives and maybe end in suicide anyway. But that could go either way.
I'm just going to give an honest answer. I would probably choose my own life. My parents had already live a good life, thus they would want me to still live.
I'm not gonna lie, I'd probably choose my own life. Especially because of how ridiculous my parents are, no really, you're probably thinking that I'm just a stupid teen. All teens hate their parents, true, but my mom yelled at me the other day for having my curtain open.
but my mom yelled at me the other day for having my curtain open.
Oh wow, that sounded kind of bad. Like poor little me. Nah, that's just an example of how odd she thinks. Who yells at anyone for opening a curtain, especially without telling them before hand not to.
I'd choose my life. I mean, I would probably be broken for a few months but it's pure logic really. I doubt that they would live without any grandchildren knowing that their son was killed at a young age rather than die knowing that the family name will be passed on.
I would choose their lives. It's common sense give up one to save two.
people think that, but this is the more immature way to go, because you are the future, they are the past. I don't know what is everyone's mentality. Your parents would want you to live because they've already probably accomplished what they set out to do in their life.
