Imagine you are living in erope during the 1300s. A plague called the black death threatens the lives of millions. You have been invited to embark on a plague-free ship until the epidemic dies out. However, you must leave behind all your friends, family, and possessions. Give me three reasons why you would or would not go to the plague-free journey

I would live
1 is because it would be wise
2 is because if I stay, my possesions would not matter, because I will die.
3 is I stay... I will die like everyone else, one live if better than none.

Guaranteed plague-free. Yes, I'd go. I get sick pretty easily, so if I could be somewhere where I would stay healthy I'd go. It's hard to know if I have any family in the 1300's. I'm sure I'd have a different family and my personality is such that I make friends easily. I could come back and help rebuild.

Would not..
1. What is life with no family or friends? Sad & lonely.
2. The guilt of leaving them would haunt me for the rest of my life.
3. BAD kharma....

1) I would be a traitor
2) I would be totally heartless
3) What if wherever the boat is taking me has a plague too or the boat sinks?

What if it is your family and friends who are the ones that operate the ship?

I would go because upon return 20% of the population would be gone. Lots of room.

live...
I can't give you 3 reasons but I know my family and friends would not let me stay anyway once they found out that I have been chosen.
