Say there was a homeless guy walking down the street. He colapses, and he is rushed to the hospital. He has no ID, no family to report him missing, nobody has any idea who he is.

It turns out he has a rare disease that can only be cured one way. By having someone continuously give him a blood transfusion for 9 strait months.

Obviously nobody should be forced to give the blood transfusion, that would be like rape. Lets say however that the hospital sweetens the deal. They set up a roulette wheel with 30 spaces. If you spin the wheel you get $50. If you land on 00 however, you get plugged into the guy.

So you figure what the hell there is only a 1 in 30 chance of hitting 00. So you spin, you lose and get plugged in. Nobody forced you to spin the wheel. It was your choice that got you where you are. can you unplug? You knew the potential consequenses of spinning the wheel, nobody can be blamed but you. Unplugging will kill this man. Should you be allowed to do it?

Your birthday is a reminder that you became one year older, and not many people are excited about aging, So why celebrate it?!!

true love is never supposed to die, like the love God has for us. but no matter what what a rose will always die. so why is love so strongly bound to the rose?

Open minded? Whats it mean to be a true seeker? Do believe you are? Please, no Christian Bible quotes! Thanks.

What do you think everyone that is a true seeker, is actually seeking?

I will award 10 the to the most impressive answer, there really is no right and wrong.

what's the scientific explanation for these concepts? does intuition and feeling come from the spirit or the mind?

a lot of people say im selfish... is it true i need feedback...i think im overprotective of my things...any ways here are some examples:
*i wont let anyone drive my car?
* i dont let anyone wear my clothes un less their old and i dot use them anymore?
*if i see something i like, i buy it and wont ask anyone if the want something(unless its the corner store/grocery)i dont let anyone play my video games, listen to my radio, lay in my bed?
* i like my things the same way they where if you use somethign put it back in the same place?

things like this i cant think of the rest but everyone else that thinks im selfish proably could come up with more examples....

Or do you think it's the way they are raised that makes them smart? So basically, my question is: genetics or environment?

I did say 'if possible' in that.
The point of my recent question was missed entirely - how fantastic exactly is a creator, compared to the created?

How much rights would they have as a creator, to decide it's future, as a starter?
What an awful question, but I think it is important.
