    No. This type of thing has a history of going wrong. That said, I was part of such a test back in grade school. The US Government used students in Southwest Virgina and Uppereast Tennessee to test various things under the guise of "vaccines" They eventually released a formal apology long after the fact when it was disclosed through declassified documents under the Freedom of Information. I remember an injection and a weird little circle studded with fine needles they pressed into your wrist. That I know of, there were no serious reactions--that I know of!

    I find it sad that even in this hypothetical scenario, no one wants to buy my sperm. Yes, if only out of spite 'cause of the sperm thing. And for the cash.

    Would you marry a stunning, nineteen-year-old Ukrainian goddess who you met through Slotsky's International Dating Service, knowing she'd transform into full-blown Eastern European she-devil a few years down the line, leaving you bankrupt and in debt to the mob, if, during the first few years, she'd be your fantasy made flesh and let you do that thing to her involving balloon animals?

    Pretty obvious no from me. I guess you could say yes, arguing that you can just break up with her when things go south. But if I'd know beforehand, I wouldn't commit anything to it.

    Would you live in complete isolation for a year if it could advance science (but you're not sure how much of an impact it will make, if much at all).

    (Again, kind of a true story. I read the title of an article which said that apparently a few people did this. Maybe I should look it up again.)

    I almost do that now. People can be so nasty to people who have bipolar disorder complicated by clinical depression... Would my isolation help Science? Perhaps as a study on how mental illness affects one's life

    Would you travel overseas to meet a friend you met here on litnet in person?

    If I like, somehow got into a long-distance relationship then yes. As a bit of a stretch, if I would travel to the US or Canada or something for a holiday anyways and people that I liked lived not too far away, I would want to see them. But then I would not be going oversees specifically for the purpose of seeing someone from here, so that probably does not count.

    Would you take a long journey (being a few hours, say from 2 onwards) to visit someone during the night if they were feeling really down and they needed you?

    It would depend on who the person was, if they where a really good friend or a loved one then I probably would.

    If you were to go to comic con who/what would you dress up as?

    If you could have a super sense but the cost was to completely loose another sense would you do it and what would be your choices?

    I don't think id do it...even though we live in a fallen imperfect world, we're created and have the senses we do from a sense of wholeness and I think even if I had super-hearing, id hate for instance, to not be able to have a sense of smell.

    would you?

    Would I what? Think you left out the essential bit there, bounty, old chum. Unless you were going to say would I wear a codpiece to a bar mitzvah, in which case I'm appalled at the suggestion. I would never go to a bar mitzvah.

    Would you participate in a pagan ritual that did not feature human sacrifice?

    Well they are not half as fun without the human sacrifice but nonetheless I love a good ol' dancing naked around the fire in the forest.

    If you received a mysterious invitation to an exclusive new underground club of which you knew nothing about would you go?

    Nay, as reclusive as I am, it would have to be a plot against me

    If you found yourself in love with someone your family disapproved of would you chose to follow your heart, if your family then disowned you?

    Yes.

    Would you speak to a h.s. or college graduation? (what might you say)

    Yes. A good long talk about how bad all this "I am offended by _________________!" is affecting life here in America.

    Would you talk to High School students on the dangers of bullying?

    Yes, but not to recite the approved litany of banal, infantile drek that the feckless half-wits who run our schools spew at the kids nowadays; but rather to tell them that bullying, alas, is a part of life, and that they will have to deal with it till their dying day, and as such need to develop coping strategies and a pair of big, hairy balls pronto--at which point someone in the audience would jump up and shout "I'm offended!"

    Would you use cloning technology to resurrect some of the really big-chested glamour girls of the 1950s?
