"push the little daisies and make them come up"
I may stun you with this answer but I try to be blunt and to the point as well as truly honest. If I were on the spot naturally the politically correct thing to say would be "I would sacrifice myself." To be absolutely honest human nature is primal, cold and selfish and in a situation of life and death I would do whatever it takes to survive. There are however extenuating circumstances IE.... affairs of the heart, unconditional love of a parent to child relationship. The person would have to be very close and deserving.

I would never sacrifice someone else's life in order to save my own. I don't really value my life that much...and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who do.

No.
I wouldn't sacrifice my life for other people (xcept maybe for my wife & kids), but neither will I sacrifice other another person's life for myself.
If i have to die, I would accept that better than living with somebody else's death on my conscience.

No but I sacrificed my life three times to save three others:
My children, numbering 3

Depend on who the person is of course. But if I don't know him then yes, I am the only one working in my family of four so my wife and daughters come first.

No everyone is someone's child and the worse thing for me would be to have to bury one of my children and I couldn't bear to think that I'd but someone else go through that hell.

No... even though you may hate a person, their families have to suffer through the loss of them. Well... maybe cheney or bin laden.

I would not. I would wear black leather gloves to stop the deaths.
