Would you risk your life for a friend? A serious approach

It's hard to really judge, as I've not come into such a situation before and Raverkid has a point above. Its not exactly a priority for survival for most people. I would like to think that I would put it on the line for my closest friends, people I've known and developed a bond with. Strangers, not so much. I don't have a hero complex, though I would feel guilty. You only have one life to spend, best to save it for when it would do the most good.

On the other hand, if risking my life saved multiple strangers, that might outweigh the difference between friend/not-friend.

Its a very complex question that you have just gotten stuck in my head.

I wouldn't know until that happens, if it does then it depends on who is it that i'm giving myself in exchange of. I would give myself in Exchange for another person but it depends on how i can act in a situation, i won't just jump into a tigers den to save the cup.

I don't know if I would risk my life for a complete stranger. When it comes to friends, I suppose it would have to be someone that I knew would at the very least be willing to do the same for me. In all reality I wish that I had more trust in basic human decency but I don't. So that is that I guess.

I actually wouldn't for 99.99% of my friends ..... because none has proven to me how value their life is nor have they themselves value their life, so why should I risk it for a lost cause?

There is one however, he values it very much and has potential in life, someone who helps people, is someone worthy, and risks himself for the people he care about. I wouldn't mind going far for him.

So before answering this question, one should ask themselves, " Does this person value his own life "?

Depends what friend.
So maybe.

Real friends don't let you risk your lives for them, they keep themselves out of trouble so they can spend their life with you.

Real friends are there for life, not for a moment.

I'll answer honestly by saying, no, not even for a loved one. I believe I would risk another's life for my own well being. Somewhat selfish, I understand that.

If you want to go further into this, I am not able to form bonds with people easily, so to compensate with this, I consider them part of me. So if cancer is mutating in my hand and they need to chop of my arm, so be it. I see the same with friends and family.

(going to regret posting this)

Well..in fact I'd rather rescue people without thinking about the consequences than hesitating...but that's just a guess because I actually am someone who tries to be not involved in dangerous situations...

Yes, I would. I love all my friends more than myself.

Well, in all honesty, I don't have a friend who'd I'd unflinchingly throw myself in front of to protect. Kinda depressing I know but how many friends would you protect? How many people in your peer group have a bond with you so important that you would throw away your life in favor of their own. Dammit that particular person isn't just a friend to me at that point, they're a best friend or a very close companion that I'd do anything for. They had be very close to me personally and we know each other inside an out before I think I would probably put my life on the line for them

Risk? Depends on how risky were talking here, but most likely yes. Forfeit my own life? Never.

Throw away my life to save a friend? Honestly, I probably wouldn't. The only people I would sacrifice my life for would be my close family members. I try to avoid being around dangerous situations anyway though.

i would do anything as long s it didnt involve me committing a crime because my friends are family.
Friends=Family you screw with one you screw them all

and hopefully i would live after risking mylife then yes plus a bowl of yoshinoya would be awesome

I'd risk myself to save those around me. I know that because there are still people out their that need saving I will not perish in the here and now. Continue to protect and serve the people of not just my own country, but all the people of the earth. Even if I am condemned by all and have no safe haven, I would never do so. This just means I can serve further without anyone worrying for me. My life is my own, and I will live it and be strong so that I can make sure people are still living and keep going on strong.

Because in thruth, do I really need a reason to help someone out? Or is my help not good enough for 'em?

Just continue on protecting those around you from mental, emotional and physical harm and one day people will do the same for each other with no need to ask for help and reason to help out another.

I just tried to post here and told I was perma-banned for ban evasion? What?

Anywho. I'd do it if they were worth as much as I am or worth more. But any less and it's not worth it to me. I believe in equivalency and I weigh human life rather heavily. Ironic because I'm a jobless hobo who live with his grandmother.

Well in clutch situations I usually tend not to panic. However I constantly call my own courage into consideration since I find it near impossible to approach a girl. My wish is that my tendency to stay calm under pressure would allow me to devise a plan. However I personally believe that if I don't know anyway to save a friend I'd leave him to die.

All my friends aren't all that worthy.

[size=14]In my opinion it completely depends on the person and the chances of death I would be imposing upon myself. For someone important to me I would risk my life if there was only a 80% chance of me dying or less. However for a complete stranger only less than 5% would cut It. I'm not going to risk my life if it doesn't effect me.[/h]
