<p>what about if it was some disease that doesn't really affect americans, like malaria?
or a rarer disease, like schizophrenia?</p>
<p>This is such a difficult question. Because the brave answer would be yes. But then again, bravery for the sake of bravery is ill founded; of course, i’d say yes but I don’t think i’d really have the guts if face to face with death. Maybe i’m just a coward after all. :]</p>
<p>No, because I would have no way of <em>knowing</em> this to be true. If someone told me it would happen I wouldn’t believe them. If an Angel came from heaven and told me to die, again I would be skeptical.</p>
<p>eventually I would.</p>
<p>Sure, i’d just wait 80 or so years for the cure. :P</p>
<p>What if you had cancer, and then you found out that your death could cure cancer?</p>
<p>Nope.</p>
<p>I’m selfish.</p>
<p>Yeah, most likely.</p>
<p>nope 10 char</p>
<p>Yeah. I hate “quantifying” life, but one life doesn’t seem that significant compared to millions of others.</p>
<p>Yea. That’s just the kinda guy I am. I would, however, be ******* enough to demand that my family gets rich, my enemies get killed, and the cure be named after me or whatever I want it to be named.</p>
<p>I’m completely honest</p>
<p>You can’t ‘cure’ cancer, it’s not really a conventional disease and there are myriad types of cancer.</p>
<p>So no.</p>
<p>Also cancer kids are hilarious.</p>
<p>
ditto .</p>
<p>Nope. Humans are greatly overpopulated. Curing things that are good at killing us would make us even more overpopulated. That means a greater population, greater famine, and greater harm to non-human species.</p>
<p>Yes, but I wouldn’t be happy about it. I’d do it because I know it’s the right thing to do and cuz a lot of people would benefit, but I’d still be mad about the fact that I would have to die.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OMG you’re so <em>~</em>~<em>~</em>~<em>~EDGY~</em>~<em>~</em>~<em>~</em>~</p>
<p>of course.
if i had to die right this minute, i’d do it.
some of you clearly don’t know anyone with cancer.
i’d be saving my dad, my mom, my cousin, 2 aunts, an uncle… and that’s just in my close family.</p>
<p>yes
10char</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>But I would say goodbye to my friends and family, because eventually someone would kill me. Soon. Because killing someone to save a loved one does certainly happen, and killing someone to save yourself is almost self-defense, and cancer is so wide-spread…</p>
<p>Without a doubt.</p>
<p>It’s kind of like the movie Wanted, “kill one, save a thousand [or in this case, millions]”.</p>
<p>No, of course not.</p>
<p>Unless it’s clinical death and not brain death. Then I’d only do it if people nearby are skilled at heart-restarting.</p>
