A dilemma for Friday
 

..this is an interesting one because it only involves a total stranger..so no emotional pull

Hmm I guess I'd see the good in helping him, surely you could make a life out of it for just 9 months especially if it's going to safe somebodies life

Had they asked, I would have likely done it for him anyway,they are only using me as a dialysis machine in reality.
I would not have been pleased to be kidnapped,however I guess I would see it though.

(I thought this was going to say they were going to also cut out a kidney of mine to give him, had that been the case I likely would have pulled the plug on it).

I'd unplug the machine. Kidnapping me and then expecting me to give up 9 months of my life? Not happening. I wouldn't be willing to give up so much time for a strangers life even if it was optional, let alone having been kidnapped to do it.

No, If they'd approached me and actually asked me to do it and maybe offer to pay me for doing it then I probably would have, but to kidnap and force me into doing it? He could **** off. Presumably my family and friends would have no idea where I was, no way would I put them through that for 9 more months.

Id unplug straight away they never consented me and Id be wasting 9 months of my life.

Sounds like something from SAW but without the violence. :shocked:

There is no way I would go through with this. You don't kidnap someone and hold them against their will. It's totally wrong. As Niamh stated, friends and family would be going out of their mind with worry if you disappeared for 9 months (or be having a party whichever the case). I would not want to put them through the anxiety.

You may ask for someones help in such a situation, but not force them into doing so. It would be a hell of a lot to even ask someone anyway. They would most probably have to give up a job, their family, friends, and social life. How would mortgage/bills be paid for 9 months etc. So many things to take into consideration.

If done with the right conditions, then it would be something to consider, but certainly not under those circumstances.

It would also involve missing 9 months of Coronation street, or would I be allowed a TV? :tongue:
