That's a completely different scenario to the one you described before? 'Dying to save a kid' is a world away from 'giving your child an organ at the expense of your own life'. You can't switch the goalposts like that to suit your argument.

The vast majority of people would not give their lives for a child that isn't theirs', like I said before, most people are destined to be observers, not heroes.

A person's own child on the other hand is completely different, a sizable amount of parents have the biological need to protect their children at all costs, a lt of parents would sacrifice themselves if it meant their child could live.

Not quite sure what any of this has to do with the thread mind, nor why the discussion has shifted to me.

What are you on about, i didnt paint any pictures..i just said i would die to save a kids life...then you basically said i nor anyone else would when it came down to it.


I dont know why you feel the need to try and disprove that i would..seems very strange.

Tbf it wasn't just Dezzy that was saying about people being observers and not heroes argument, I agree with him that most of us are selfish and would not risk our lives for strangers, even if they was a child.

I personally anyway wouldn't see myself as the heroic type, I know that is probably an evil thing to say, but I think that if most people were being honest, they'd probably be the same as me.

You'de be surprised what people would do on the spur of the moment Mocky,people have even died saving their animals, it's just instinct I think.

I totally agree with this. I don't think that I would - MY family need me and THEY will ALWAYS come first.
