| I'd like to think I would, but I am amazingly afraid of death so I'd probably chicken out in the circumstance. |

| If on a plane, putting a life jacket on yourself first before doing it for others could potentially allow you to save 2-3 more people than if you put a life jacket on someone else and risk dying, thus saving only one person...? |

If it were.....for the entire world? no.
If it were for people in my country yes.
It would be a situation where there were no options to where I could survive the outcome basically all there is. |

Yeah that's my reasoning. And even then it's basically just committing suicide, with the saving others being a bonus. I don't really care who is dead or alive if I am dead.
Would be the same for me here. Random people who don't affect my life? No thank you.
These insanely selfish and uncompassionate mindsets seem to be a recurring theme here. The idea that people only have worth if they're you or someone in your life is both illogical and disgusting.

Its good to note, that 100 stupid people are not even close to the worth of 1 smart person.

For a 135 IQ, you're really dumb

Does that sound genuine to you?
It's disgusting? Try to calm down a bit. Fact of the matter is, you only have one life, and there's nothing disgusting about prioritizing it over someone elses. At the very basic level we are individuals, not a collective blob. |

And what is so special about your lives that you wouldn't risk it to save even loads of people? Something I've never understood even as a kid, why people cling to life so desperately. If I saw an opportunity to save even one person I'd take it, no matter who it was. The only time I wouldn't is if it would also put at risk other people's lives, like, if I save this person, someone else may suffer.
I suggest you people do some reflection and ask yourself why you are terrible human beings
because, as this thread clearly illustrates, they wouldn't do the same for you.
I'm going to kill you because you would kill me. How do I know that you would kill me? Because I would kill you. That's some brilliant fucking logic right there.
thank you for reinforcing my choice |

Yes, there is no pole between the extremes of individualism or collectivism. As an individual, one is worth nothing, or worth more than the entirety of the human race.

That's not at all what I was saying. The dude was jumping down people's throats because they valued their own life above anothers, not the entire freaking race. |

Ahah, i wouldn't die for most of the people i've met in my life and that's including my ( somewhat twisted ) family. So dying for random people i've never met ? Nothx
There isn't much of anything worth dying for in this world,
Edit : even less worth killing for.
And what those guys said : + Show Spoiler +

| I can't think of a situation where I would have to choose between my own life and the lives of X random people. I'm gonna say I wouldn't give up my own life. Stuff dies, it's how nature works. |

I've thought about this many times before, and the best answer most of the time, is to go for the rescue. Think of a way to save both your asses (there's got to be a way) and execute the plan.
To be in this dilemma in the first place, it means you're well within the capacity of saving someone's life, let's say a near 100% success rate if you help them out. The problem is staying alive yourself. |

Police and Soldiers have been doing answering this question for time in memorial. They elect (in most cases) to put their lives at risk for the benefit of the community and often end up giving their lives for people who they've never met or who could care less...
In answer to the question: yes |

| I would die for 2 people. Doesn't matter who, the possibility that it can be a doctor or someone important is too much to pass up. For 1 person? No, that's just not fair on me. |

| Lol at how many people voted "infinite" compared to 10 000+. That means those people would rather have had every human in the entire world exept peopl they know/ are not random die than themselfs. I wonder what the 5000 people that survived the apocalypse think about you after you made your decision. |
