Save a dying person or inherit $100 million.

[QUOTE="metalpower08"][QUOTE="uhoh_hotdogs"]I'd take the $100 million. With that amount of money I would save hundreds, if not thousands of lives.uhoh_hotdogs

1.) The money is likely tainted but what has been done has already taken place. Should I simply leave the money in the hands of these people who will likely use it to further their likely illegal operations or for materialistic purposes, or should I take it and at least try to help others (I understand that not all of the money will actually benefit others due to corruption, but even a small fraction of $100,000,000 will. That is why I said hundreds, if not thousands of lives, instead of saying tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands like the full amount of money is theoretically capable of accomplishing).

2.) Morality is subjective.

3.) Not everyone is able to make this decision. In the crazy hypothetical situation YOU are offered the choices, not you and five of your friends. It is my choice and I made it.

[QUOTE="clayron"] I wouldn't. I would honestly take the money, and basically say, "**** that guy" as I walked off smiling like an idiot thinking about all the crap I am going to purchase, and prudently making plans to invest so that I do not just piss away the money.clayron

you are empty

i never doubted your honesty. but i say again, you are empty, or at least your first post seems like that. i dont mean to sound rude tho:). but maybe that dying man had a 5 year old little girl. maybe she had no one else in the world. maybe not, but could you really live with that possibility? could you live with yourself knowing you were so selfish? as a matter of interest, do you find selfishness attractive in a person? i think not, but perhaps you do.

what if your sibling/loved one gets shot. or abused and killed or whatever. thats just the way the world works?? you just gonna shrug?

i really genuinely doubt that many people could really just take the money, just like that, whatever they say

The way I see it, you can save waaaaaaaay more than 1 person with just 10% $100M. I mean if you give just 10% away to charity by 1st grade math that's $10M, $10M will save a ton of people.

I'd save the life. Some things are worth more than money.....LJS9502_basic

The $100 million sounds nice; but I would probably save the dying person.

To all those who would take 100'000'000:

Come on!! You would save that person. And if you didn't you would feel guilty even with a lot of cash in your pocket for not saving a human's life.

I would take the 100 million them give half to assorted charities groups. Therefore I would make alot of people's lives better then I could of by letting the 1 person live.

i'd take 100 mil. with all that money im sure i could find a way to rescue dude stranded and dying.

Take the 100 mill and give it to medical research to cure other dieases. :)

Save the person, no question. Nobody needs 100 million.

Im on the fence...

with the 100 million I could save technically millions of lives by investing.

But saving the person dying in my hands...

the High Priest mentioned in the Gospel of John said in John 11:49-50 the Apostle John wrote, "And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not."

Save him, I couldnt leave anyone to die.

I'd take the $100 million. With that amount of money I would save hundreds, if not thousands of lives.uhoh_hotdogs

take the money, i would give 15 million to hungry kids or something like that and keep the 85 killion for me, see I saved more lifes and Im RICH B*TCH!!!!!!! :D

I´ll take the $100 million in a heartbeat.

EDIT:

In retrospect... No, i wouldn´t take the $100 million. I´d rush to the dying person. I wouldn´t act as rational as my initial comment suggests, i would act out of emotion, and my emotions dictates me trying to save a persons life

Spock said it as well----the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. :)
