If...

---

Just curious. If you had to choose between saving your husband/wife or girlfriend/boyfriend and a small child between the ages of 2-5 that you have never seen nor met before, who would you save?

And also, if there was a situation where a young girl was raped at the age of 8 and didn't tell her parents and is pregnant and another girl had sex only to get herself pregnant and lie by accusing her sex partner of rape but still being able to have an abortion and risking him going to jail for no reason, would you choose to either legalize or refuse abortion under any circumstances despite both of the girls' situations?

I am possibly the most selfish person ever, but I would save my boyfriend.

If a bird flu pandemic does break out your first question may be a real issue, since there won't be enough vaccine for everyone. Someone has recently pointed out here that the prsent policy of saving it for infants and the elderly isn't sensible - it would be better to give it to more children: the elderly have had a decent number of years already.

I mean just in general though. Like a fire or drowning or something.

you must not get much sleep worring about things like this that most likely will never happen.

I would save my lover b/c I know that at least with my lover I could produce another child...

and wow that sounds really selfish and cold...

I'm not worrying I'm just observing for a project I'm doing in speech class. We have a debate thingy coming up and I needed to think of something. Now Finals! That's something to stress about.Now answer the question! lol pwetty pwease

FINE !
the kid, the reason being that children are innocent, and they have a whole life ahead of them, my fiance though has already had 33 years, better to die at 33 then at 8 and neevr know what life was.

yeah I agree. better take this down lol.

but how do you know saving him/her is going to provide a good life for them? How do we know that the child will not get raped or abused or something? Why not live, have your own and protect them then dying and then the kid you saved is SOL.

its not about if they have a good life or bad, its about them having a chance at life

this is the conundrum that we will always face...who are we to decide who lives and who dies.

I would risk myslf as well to save a childs life. They are the future. I have already had mine.

Ninja kind of took my answer. I would save my lovers life and take my life to save the child because I could never life with myself letting the child die. I also would never be able to live with myself if I let my lover die.And the other circumstances... well it doesn’t swing my opinion on abortion but would make me think how screwed up kids can be.And the other circumstances.. well it doens't swing my opinion on abortion but would make me think how screwed up kids can be.

To answer your first question I'd risk my own life to save the child. The children are our future and I've had twenty years (some good and some bad) on this earth and I'd rather give them the chance to make their own path in the world than to be selfish and save my own and have the blood of an innocent on my hands for the rest of my life. In fact I'd die trying to save both the child and my lover if it meant that they would live.I can't really answer your second question other than to say I'm not a supporter of abortion. Now for any man who will rape a little child deserves to have his dick nailed to a stump and then be handed a dull butter knife and then have the stump set of fire... it's his choice... either burn or cut it off. Seems like a fair trade to me.

I would gladly save both of them at the cost of my own life.

The child should have a chance to live and I will protect and save the ones I love, even if it is at the cost of my own life.

Thats just what I would do...

hey, stop noticing certain parameters are missing from the question...I agree with Roc.

I'd let good old instinct take care of that.

I would save my loved one. I would always put my family and closest friends first in such situations. It may well sound harsh and I cant justify it, I'm just being honest.
