MurderDoll's intelligent thread #147
I was reading through some comments earlier, mainly those of a pretentious asshole and a mindless puppet. (not naming any names :rolleyes: ) Anyway, I've been told that you guys want to see some "intelligent threads" and well I think I have a long standing record of giving the people what they want to see. ;)
So here it is, a moral question. One of your friends (not your best friend just maybe someone you hang out with once in awhile) is in the hospital dying. S/he desperately needs blood and just so happens that you have the same blood type. So you give them blood right? wait, there's more. A baby is just rushed in and you overhear the doctors talking about how the mother and father died and the baby isn't going to make it because nobody has the same blood type. Then you hear the blood type, it's the same as yours.So do you save your friend? A person that you know and a person who's early exit would probably effects a number of people or do you save this unknown baby with no parents who has no clue what's going on? Why?

I'd save the friend. If the baby lives, what's it got to look forward to? Orphanage, foster homes. If it's lucky it won't get beaten or worse. Who knows what's in store for it....
Also, I'd be kind of a selfish bastard in this case. Fuck that baby, I don't know him or his parents. I don't want a friend to die. Been there, and I'd do just about anything to avoid it again.

i'd save them both ... take all my blood.
i'd never be able to live with myself without becoming some kind of raving deadbeat alcoholic mess with the knowledge that I was - in a way - responsible for letting either one die.. i have thalassemia anyway - so i cant give blood anyway i dont think :)

I d do the same what he said. Try my best to save them both. At least that way I wont have to spend the rest of my life knowing that I had the power and the chance to save two lives, and I was selfish enough to choose one over the other, and valued my own life over either one of them.

thalassemia .. i have the mild version .. no real effect.
blood cells die fast and over produce iron to compensate. at worse i get really tired - more than normal - when i'm sick .. but i rarely get sick. its hereditary - and very strange for a wasp to get it .. more common in mediterranians, asians, and africans.

well hate to get all real and shit but my brother is in the hospital right now and it's not blood he needs it's a kidney he only has one as it is and yes when the time comes i will give him one of mine, if our blood type matches!
we went to get our blood tested back a couple of months but the stupid doctor said it wasn't necessay at that time just for him to take antibiotics. they took a biopsy of his kidney today and we will know the news tomorrow the news that determines if he will suffer on dialysis sp? until we can get a match if i donot fit the criteria! so those who pray please say a blessing for us both! thankyou ENTITY2000

So if you're in a position to save a life, you're in a way responsible for letting people die. If the 80 year old neighbor who was always yelling at your kids for playing to close to his lawn fell asleep smoking and his house went up in flames would you feel the same way? Would you gamble your life and a part of your family and friends' life to save a horrible old man? :confused:

They need the blood fast! They'll both die if you try and supply both of them.

no - fuck that guy ... he had his shot and he's a stupid asshole and a liability. that baby never had a chance and i think everyone should get a chance after going through 9 months of gestation and battling throught he birth process. but actually ... i'd probably try to save the guy anyway - but not at the ridiculous risk i'd be willing to take if it was a child. if he was a known pedophile or wife beater - i'd probably throw sticks and newspaper on the fire.
