Self-Sacrifice
A simple question.
If you had the oppurtunity to give your life up for the life of a random person on the other side of the planet, would you?
If not would you do it for 5 people?
10 people?
50 people?
100 people?
1,000 people?
etc....
lol, personally i can get into the billions before considering it.

I tend to agree that the reason matter immensely. For Putin, a random Chinese peasant and so on, not at all. In fact, I think it's incredibly unlikely I'd do it for anybody. Luckily I doubt I'll ever have to choose between family and friends or myself. Either way, the answer would suck.

well in that case I would say no, not for people dying of a heart attack.

It depends on the person.
If it was someone that had more to live for than me or had more potential I probably would. If it was just some random idiot than no.

...That's not a reason to save that other person. Hell, I probably would've killed most of them for a magic lamp!
