Say, hypathetically, and there are NO OTHER POSSIBLE ANSWERS, you are happily
married to this ungodly(beautiful/handsome) (woman/man), the most ideal mate you
could ever possibly imagine, they love you more than life itself and like wise,
the sex is amazing, etc etc. You and your spouse have a small family with the
most amazing, spectacular, loving, brilliant, etc etc, ideal children ever in
the history of the world. One/two of your child(ren) are very very very ill
and, without a very costly operation/medication are gauranteed to die. You love
your child(ren) very very much like any respectable parent would (heck, without
them, who would mow your lawn??). You and your spouse are completely unable to
afford the medical bills, nor will you ever be able no matter what you do.
However, your spouse has a very large life insurance plan on them that WOULD
cover the bills and make sure little timmy/thina lives.
Would you A) kill your spouse, who loves you more than anything, to save your
child or would you B) Let your child suffer and die so your spouse
lives?
The consequences are: You will never have anyone else in your life that will
love you more than your spouse, should you decide to let your child live.
However, you will never have another child as long as you live, nor will you be
able to adopt, or buy via the black market.
I would not kill my spouse or let my child die. So I can't choose either one.
Most likely I would find a way around it like go on Oprah and make N.A. pity me
and donate the money to save my kid. o_o
Well, first, you leave the country and trade off drugs for the operation. You
then PAY for the operation. If that doesn't work, you just leave them both and
get brain surgery to forget the whole trauma. That way, you can freely go crazy
and eventually be tackled down by the police.
C. I would let my spouse decide.
Other than that, this is the type of question I wouldn't bother answering if I
didn't bend rules to a snapping point.
this is exactly like that ever so famous question of choosing to save your wife
or your mother, niether choice is right and its impossible to answer it with a
good answer. but one thing for sure, i wouldnt ever kill anyone who didnt
deserve to die, so possibly if its an option ill kill myself for the money
Ummm well that wouldn't happen where I live (Australia) because you'd be covered
by Medicare.
I know it's a hypothetical question (I hate hypothetical questions) but that
kind of thing doesn't happen over here.
If I could, I would probably get myself killed so that they'd receive money to
pay for the operation. Although killing yourself isn't right, killing someone
else is worse.
not sure.. first choice would be to let the kid die.. sorry for him/her.. but
then second choice would be the other way around.. i guess i would flip a coin
to choose?
maybe
i should have said "strictly" instead of hypothetically. You don't
have any other options, you can't get life insurance, and killing yourself is
the easy way out, it doesn't really solve the problem. You have to choice
between one or the other. Oh, and Oprah was too busy interviewing poor
ethepoian children, pregnant nuns, etc, so she's booked solid for the whole
year, in which case, if your child doesn't get the operation in two months (and
its January) it willl die.
yeah thats a realy tough choice. If it was me and if I really really really
had to choose, I'd choosem y spouse. I'd think of someway to make a happy
ending first

Yeah no right or wrong answer. This situation is just fubar. @@X.
ofcourse it's fubar, that's what makes the answer interesting. Its supposed to
be one of the more insightful questions to a person's personality; do you choose
your love and intimacy over your responsibilities and love as a parent?? there's
never a right or wrong answer because its not a text book question! You have to
think and search yourself for your *personal* answer, and bedamned society's
opinion of it! ^..^ that's the spirit of the question: which do you value more??

If it were up to me, I would have probably been smart enough to purchase some sort of health insurance to cover such a thing
hey, I did buy the life insurance didn't I? It's common sense to have bought health insurance to go with it =p
i think a good choice is to buy yourself a large life insurance... and do something with it...
but if things don't work out either way, i'l keep my spouse, you can always have another kid!
I wouldn't kill anyone. Which rule would result in the child's death.
And, btw, didn't the kid have insurance in the first place?
Ummm well that wouldn't happen where I live (Australia) because you'd be covered by Medicare.
