The Bullet

[Acebot44]

Last night was spent talking into the weee hours of the night with a few friends about...well...everything (religions, abuse, future, relationships, family, etc). I brought up the question of family in reference to the discussion that has been happening in the Marriage thread, and asked each of them to define it. I also threw in Prof's "If you would sacrifice your life to save theirs, then they are a part of your family" definition and a whole other discussions came out of it that I now pose to you.


If you were put in the situation where essentially you had the ability to save a child from dying in exchange for your own life, would you do it and why? Would you take a bullet for a random kid?


My answer was no, and all three of my friends answered yes, so I'm interested to see what you all have to say.
