re: Would you die instantly if you could do something truly meaningful for society

Let’s say discover a cure to cancer or something like that, would you trade your life for that if some bizarre scenario called for it.

would need to be something more than curing cancer, society will do that on its own pretty soon in the grand scheme of things IMO.

But I probably would, depending on what it was

The older I get the less I believe"Humanity" is worth saving.
Look around, watch the News, who out there would you give your life to save?

Jesus did just that. Who listened.

Who in any generation since Baby Boomers, values Jonas Salk over Lebron James.

if "meaningful for society" meant:
50% of the human population died immediately, and
the survivors agreed on what "self respect" really meant, and
the survivors agreed that trash behavior warranted an immediate death sentence,
then yes, yes, I would die instantly.

I wouldn't say that I'm selfish, but my daughters would have to benefit from it somehow. After all, they are losing their father forever.

I would have to ensure my kids are taken care of. We all know what happens in fatherless homes.

Let’s go with yes since I’ll never have to prove it anyways
