You get the idea..



A complete stranger, most likely.

If I had a loved one who had a terminal illness and palliative care wasn't enough, I'd wish for them to die (in their sleep preferably) over a healthy and happy stranger. If the stranger dying would result in more deaths or suffering (for example, if the stranger in question was flying a plane with lots of passengers at the time), I might also choose a stranger over a loved one. However, all other things being equal, it would be the stranger.



Both!

Everybody will die. It's an unavoidable consequence of being born.

However, if it came down to choosing someone to die immediately, rather than fifty years from now, I'd have to choose the complete stranger, naturally.

I doubt that you'd get anyone choosing a loved one to die, unless that loved one is already slowly dying in hospital from some incurable condition and has no quality of life left.

EDIT: 3 thumbs-down and no thumbs-up? I'll have to assume that nobody actually read my answer beyond the first line. I'll reiterate my point. EVERYONE OF US IS GOING TO DIE! Do you think you're going to live forever or something? Good luck with that!



A stranger.

I know I'd hate myself for "choosing" them to die but I'd hate myself more if I did it to someone I love.

A loved one or TWO complete strangers would be a serious moral dilemma.
I'd always have to save my loved ones though.

Could you please explain the exact circumstances in which I might be required to make this choice?



Since you're asking this question in the veggi/vegan section, I must ask: "do I have to eat them?" :)



Both :)



WTF Does this have to do with Veganism?! I'd rather choose a complete stranger AKA YOU!!

Me :3
