Is your life worth more than ten strangers?

[UMirinMyAvi]

Let´s play the imaginary game.

Let´s imagine you´ve been put in a room with a big glass panel separating you from ten strangers. You can see them through the glass. They are five young men and five young women. There is a speaker allowing you to hear what they say.

Let´s say that there were two buttons in this room.
One button results in the room the strangers are in getting lit on fire. Complete with them screaming in agony and you hearing every single second of it. But you come out okay. No one will ever know or believe you if you tell them.

The other button will administer a lethal injection of let´s say...poison into your body. You won´t feel a thing, but you will die. The strangers however, will live on.

If you do nothing after ten minutes, a bomb obliterates everyone including you.

So. What matters most to you?

[crupiea]

The better question to ask is do you think any of those women would sacrifice for you or the other guys?

hell no.

[fox994]

I'd choose myself and anyone who says otherwise is more than likely lying. Self preservation is natural, youd feel guilty though

[LiftingDutchMan]

Depends how hot they are.

[NicholasMango]

I wouldn't press any of the buttons and I'd just leave because this scenario doesn't prevent that choice

[XiangYu]

Actually that would be a fine gift for me.
I would gladly pick Option 2. Quick and painless death? Count me in.

[Masterbetaa]

my life > all strangers

im not going to play a hero lel

[BuckNakedinBama]

Everyone wants to say they'd pick the 10 strangers, but if actually presented with the situation I bet 99.999% of people would choose themselves.

[Ironmanlet]

It is all subjective and in the larger picture meaningless.


my life is just as meaningless as those ten from the perspective of the universe.

One value is not worth more than the other.

Read the OP again.

So which one would you pick?

[ALLUCANEATRIBS]

could be every human on earth and id still save myself over them

[Horizon92]

this lol

You are such a lying fukin ******* if you say that you would die to let 10 random people live. The whole fukin population of some random city in china (for instance, no racist) could be threatened and I would let them die if it would mean I lived

[Kev1972]

Sucks to be them.

[kingmode]

On one side I plan to do great things in this world to help others but on the other side my body is already fuqed up.. so it wouldn't matter if I die now.

I'd go with the strangers button. 10 humans is only a small sacrifice when you can help 100+ people.

[NickDiggers]

Is this supposed to be some sort of dillema?

[Reiper]

Recognition would be nice, though I guess not needed

I would hope that I would be prepared to sacrifice everything to protect others.

[AlphaGainzNinja]

This would be a truly horrible experiance. I mean have you ever smelled burning skin/ hair? Those kunts are gonna smell.

[___]

world is overpopulated
would press the 1st button with pleasure

[Plato234]

So many goddamn psychopaths here.

[IDefineMyself]

This would be a truly horrible experiance. I mean have you ever smelled burning skin/ hair? Those kunts are gonna smell.

I would argue that because all that makeup and hairspray is flammable the females would die quicker and thus less painful.

[usersignup2]

your life would have to be incredibly hopeless if you chose the other 10. either that or you are a complete moron.

[DanielHutch]

Yeah Id choose me. Survival and all

[TimeToMakeGains]

Id choose the "OP is a *******" option and neg him!

[DoctorJihad]

I wouldn't press any of the buttons and I'd just leave because this scenario doesn't prevent that choice

If you don't make a choice within 10 minutes you all die.

Anyways, I'd pick myself ez pz. I would pick myself over an entire country, continent, you name it.

[NicholasMango]

Read the OP again.



So which one would you pick?

The OP says the room would go boom. Doesn't say the door is locked or there are guards or w/e.


So I'd be like "hey guys....lets just leave."


And we'd leave.

It says nothing about the room going boom. It says specifically that everyone including yourself is obliterated once it goes off.

[superkaryman]

I'd choose myself and anyone who says otherwise is more than likely lying. Self preservation is natural, youd feel guilty though

I'd honestly pick myself to die..It's a peaceful death not like a fire and agony death. If I had to burn myself alive then I may change my mind

[P877Y]

well **** i mean chances are I'm smarter than all of them so i think my contributions to humanity will justify their sacrifice

just making sure you know that was a joke.. i mean i'd probably do that if i was being burned alive because well **** that. but lethal injection yeah have a nice life
