The Bullet

I'd take the bullet if the kid, traumatized by my death, grows up to be Batman.

Haha that reminds me of something.
When went out with friends last weekend, they started joking about me actually putting my life in danger just so there is a better chance my kid would become a real life Batman.

I hope I'm not that huge of a fan, but it is an idea...

Would I personally do it?
...No, not unless it was my kid.

This is a "tough" question but I think an even tougher question is:

"would you take a bullet for your wife knowing that you will die and she will spend the rest of her life grieving, or would you let her die and take the blame for the rest of your life."

Both questions (mine and the original one) really hinge on if we know in advance. If saving the kid's life is premeditated, then a whole world of moral questions pop up.
