Yes, I would. I know that no parent wants their children to die before they do, and it's not natural at all, and i know they would live the rest of their lives feeling sad and depressed that i made that choice, but I could never let anything happen to them if I could do something about it.

elaboration?

Some guy cuts himself loose to save someone else.
That's about all I remember of it. Probably family (maybe a father, brother and sister or something, not sure).
But basically one family member dies to let one or both of the others live, I think.

Well i would like to think i would sacrifice myself for someone else that i cared about (especially parents) but not being put actually in that situation, i cannot say a definite "Yes" or "No".

Very sad topic indeed...i think the poll needs to be a bit more formal than yup or nope in a topic like this.

That guy was way off..


There is a father, brother, and sister.....

They are experienced climbers, but some noobs above them dont know jack sh|t and end up falling down and as they fall their rope hits the father, rips him off, and suddenly all 5 of them are dangling. Then the 2 noobs fall off completely, and its just the father (bottom) brother (middle) sister (top). They are starting to break loose from their safetys, so the father tells the brother to cut him loose.

Finally the brother does, and they live... sister holds it against the brother for a long time.

No.

I am their offspring. They would want it that way. A child isn't supposed to go before their parents.

Hard situation, yes, but considering its he dies or you, your sister AND your father dies.... easier.
In reguards to pollage... no, probably not.

yes but its you who is 'killing' your father by cutting the rope...no matter that technically it is the right thing to do, its still much harder when you have to do it yourself...cause then you'll constantly blame yourself for 'killing' your father.

No, and I don't even have to think any further than the fact that I have a 3 year old son. He needs me more than the world needs my Mom or Dad. Sorry Mom...and Dad. :(
