Question #535

From "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D


Q #67

Would you risk your life for someone close to you out of feelings of obligation or out of feelings of love? For instance .... would you donate a kidney to them? Would it matter if you could refuse without anyone ever knowing? What if the person asked you not to risk your life?

I would definitely risk my life for my husband, children, grandkids, parents or siblings. It would definitely be out of love and yes I would donate a kidney to any of them if they needed it even if they told me not to do it. Somehow, I would do it, if it meant keeping them with me a while longer.

Obligation ain't going to cut it - love will do it though.

Well, doesn't loving someone carry the obligation to do what needs to be done? So, yes, I would donate a kidney if I loved the person. And no, if I'm going to refuse, I'm going to refuse if they know or not.

Oh, the last question is my parents to a "T"! And it wouldn't matter if they asked me not to, if it came down to me taking the chance for their opportunity, I would go willingly.
