Well, those decisions are made every day. That 75 year old has no chance for a heart transplant. The reality is that it's not 10 years he's going to live, but 10 months. So then would it be worth it over the 40 year old? No.
Those type of decisions are made and are necessary. Another such decision would be to shoot down a hijacked airplane full of innocent passengers that intends to crash into a skyscraper . I hope I am never in the position where I'm required to make such a decision.
Same Q
Make it into a reality tv show with bare knuckle boxing matches.
title the show, "don't lose heart!"
Would you be so boring as to say same question? over and over and over and over and over and over again?
Yes if i have no question in mind.
Would you opt for authenasia (family)?
Let me put it this way: When a person allows his pet to suffer, he can be taken in for Cruelty to Animals. But allow a human to suffer with illness and try to end that and you face a murder rap. It's why I have a Living Will. Do not resuscitate, just let me go.
I am allowing others to give their opinions on this not to be boring, but because it's a very important issue. Same question.
Do you mean in advocacy for a family member? If I knew for a fact that it seemed in his/her best interest (and an official document from the family member has a great requirement), yes, I would. My state, Oregon, in fact, exists as one of the few states with the termed 'Death With Dignity Act.' If you ask if I would ever go through DWD - if I felt I had suffered enough, indeed, I would.
To the person below me: same question (good one!) --

I would not eat chicken at all because of Bird Flu and the second reason is that I am not very much fond of meat.
Would you be mad at your friend if she has broken the necklace your dead grandmother gave you and that necklace is very dear to you?
I dont think I would show my anger, but I have this bad habit of not forgetting mishaps too soon. So it might be that every time I see her, the first thing that would come to my mind is that "I can never forget you broke my precious necklace" or maybe at occasions I might remind her that since she broke the necklace she is not allowed to have any other accessary (I cant believe, I can be that bad)....But I guess I would show my anger not by yelling......
I forgot what I had to ask.....
untill I remember what it was....I pass the same question
It would depend upon the circumstances. If she deliberately broke it, took it without asking and broke it, or was careless with it and broke it, I would be very upset. If it was one of those random things that happen through no fault of her own, I would be extremely sad, but I wouldn't be angry with the friend. I had a similar thing happen. . .a friend borrowed my mother's prom dress that my dead grandmother had sewn by hand, and then was in a car accident. The dress was ruined, but the friend was okay. It wasn't her fault that she was in the accident or the dress was damaged, so I couldn't be mad at her, but the dress was priceless and I'm sorry it is gone forever.
Okay, enough epic -
Would you participate in hazing if you were president of a fraternity/sorority with a long-standing tradition of doing so?
Though I doubt if I would join a fraternity, and I had to look up the true definition of 'hazing' (:D), no, I do not think I could inflict that on someone. There seem many other ways of having fun, and even initiating someone, without the potential for such harm. :eek:
To the person below me (as this may count as a 'would you' question): if some sort of disaster ruined your home, what would you save that you own, provided you only had a few minutes to gather things?
I guess my dog, Jack (he's a maltese) and my iPod because it's usually really close to me.
Would you give up your lifetime dream if the person you loved could fulfill theirs?
If I were in the process of fulfilling mine? No, I wouldn't give it up, even though it would be my first inclination to do so. The problem with that is this: if I give up my dream for theirs, eventually I would come to resent them for being the reason I gave up my dream, and I would wonder what made their dream more important than mine in the first place. Now, if I were already having difficulties fulfilling my dream, and this opportunity came up, I would definitely abandon the sinking ship for the person I loved. There would be no latent resentment because I would be giving up on a dream that wasn't working anyway. (Uncannily enough, I'm actually in this situation right now)
Next poster: I ask the same question, not for lack of imagination, but to gain insight. :D
Hmmm, well, usually the person I love and I often have similar goals and lifetime dreams, each would compliment the other, but if it had a more 'all-or-nothing' manner, as you say, I . . . might. Of course, I highly believe in a self-preservation instinct, but for the person I love, I may consider it, depending on this 'lifetime dream.' Interesting question.
To the person below me: same question --

If you had to choose to live in either a remote jungle or arid semi desert for 6 years which would you choose?
Never a simi-desert. The city in which I live at the moment is a kind of semi-desert, the hottest big city of the country so never a semi-desert! Jungle is a "better" choice.
Good question so the same one!
