If you had to choose to save the life of either a sibling or a parent which would it be? And why?

Question

I would choose any of my brothers over my father, he's a waste of skin. But I'd choose my mom over any of my brothers, she's more like my best friend.
Sorry boys!

Answer 1

wel, its easy for me....My kids first....then my wife....me.....then the Hampster.... and then......the Halloween Candy!!!!

Answer 2

Hard too say, I'd try save them all! But i would have too go with the siblings specially if they were really young, Seeing as your parents have had time too live their lives and experience most things in life the good and the bad but maybe your siblings haven't- matters how young they are, don't you think they get to have a chance to live their lives too?

Also it matters in what circumstances your talking about, and why they had too be saved, and also who was the closest too you.

Answer 3

I'd save my father and my sisters and let my brother and mother sink. If it was between my father and my two sisters, I'd save my oldest sister. Reason: My father is 85 and my other sister has terminal cancer and probably doesn't have more than a month left.

I think everyone will answer differently based on their own experiences with their family members.

Answer 4

Geeeeeez good question and hard to answer, but realistically speaking I would have to go with a sibling....Parents getting older and have had a good life, would make more sense for the younger to be saved. ACK....I hope I am never in that position.

Answer 5

My brother and I have never been that close.

My parents have true happiness and love (even after all these years - married in 1963). I could never part them. What would they need to be saved? A kidney? A lung? Done.

Answer 6

That's a tough question. I love both of my parents very much and, like you, my mom is my best friend. But because they have already lived a fulfilling life, I would have to choose my sister because she's only 18 and still has so much living to do

Answer 7

Wow! That's a really tough choice.

My parents have lived their lives already, my mother and father are 69 and 71, respectively.
Even though I love them both very much, I would have to save my brother who is still raising two girls.

Answer 8

I very virtually hate to pee on your soup, yet see the action picture "Sophie's decision." it's going to make you cry, yet to boot being on subject rely, that's a classic. no longer undemanding to tell what i could do. i'm able to assert for optimistic that if the different guy or woman became into youthful than me, they circulate interior the lifeboat first, no question approximately it in my techniques. in the event that they're older, i could could desire to give up and think of roughly it. yet human beings are are- a social species -- we run in packs. And we did no longer claw our thank you to the right of the nutrition chain via leaving Grandma at the back of while the bears come. adult men and girls folk strap themselves into tiny pills and journey somewhat-controlled explosions into orbit, climb down into holes interior the floor and scrape metals from the earth, dive below magnificent pressures into ocean depths for the two business and scientific reasons, sink caissons, journey metallic cliffs for the duration of cityscapes with a skinny piece of plastic over our skulls --- we do magnificent issues for another. that's what we -are-. .

Answer 9

I dont know if i knew that they would grow up to be good people id choose any one of my siblings but other than that on a whim i would save both if i could... i dont know that i would make a consious choice about it...

Answer 10

A sibling, because I know that is what my parents would want. They would want their child to continue living more than they would like to continue their own existance. But it would be a difficult decision to live with either way. Good question.

Answer 11

Usually these kind of choices only come in emergency situations and the situation will decide for you. I wouldn't let my Dad see that email or you may have an emergency of your own making.
