I'm with u, bring on the hard questions like : If u were placed in a life of death situation and could only save ur either ur child or partner which would u pick and why? Or between 2 kids.
This would be a job for him. My very own Family Deathmatch! I'd go with a smile. cn

What about my childs life I'm saving. They have a huge say in this. Perhaps they don't want to grow up an orphan?
To me, that'd be the last thing I'd worry about.

Sure, they might not want to grow up an orphan, but they'd probably want to grow up. Most kids that age aren't capable of making that sort of decision, ultimately, it'd be up to you. I doubt I'd be able to live with the guilt of asking my kid whether he should live or I should, and me deciding I should over him.. But that's just me personally and I would never judge someone for making a different decision.

The one and only reason I probably wouldn't kill myself and suffer an existence of unbearable guilt is knowing if I killed myself my kid died completely in vain. That would be way worse than death to me.

I also couldn't live with the guilt of choosing my own life and my child dying in vain. My children are teens and we're very close. They are very mature, lucid, rational, for teens anyway. Having a heart to heart with them would be paramount. I'm all they got. And they're not self-sufficient. So if I went out for one then two youngsters are on their own. Where as if one of them went, I'm still around to care for the other! I wouldn't "make" them choose but I would try to reach an understanding and agreement of what's in our family's best interest. I'm sure there's things I couldn't do to save my kids life. But I'd do most anything to preserve their life. Giving up my heart for one of them- yeah I'd do it.

depends on the time frame he needs it i would wait and see if he got a heart donated to him no point in killing myself witch would obvioulsy make my kid upset he probably wouldnt even what the heart knowing that his fater had to kill his self to get him on now adays they have the technoligey to keep kids alive untill they can get a heart transplant. how would u know ur heart wouldnt be to old or to unhelthy then the kid has to live with the stressfull life of waiting for a heart transplant and dealing with his faters death at the same time. if there were no other options i might consider killing myself

Without thinking twice
i see everyone saying yes they would but there are so many kids out there that die every year because they couldnt find a doner so if everyone is saying yes they would i would be seeing some shit on the news about all these parents killing them self. i bet if u were relly in that situation u wouldnt kill ur self but of course u dont want to seem like a bad person so ur like I WOULD KILL MY SELF IN AN INSTANT that a bunch of bs sorry man. if eveyone would kill there slef to save there child then there would be a much higher suicide rate in america and much less children dieing of heart diesise.

The thing is, we have an instinct to protect our own children but not everybody's/anybody's. A very deep part of us sees someone else's kid in trouble and heaves a sigh of relief: "not my problem". cn

I don't completely agree. We are wired to risk and face death in the hunt, the battle, and the defense of home and family. cn

yea if u dont defend ur home then ur going to get killed same thing for hunting we have to survive - eat fight or flight. i know that we are not wired to kill our self but we are wired to either fight or run in a life threting situation. we evaluate our risk and go from there when thinking aboujt killing ur self u body would naturly say no thats why the only people who relly kill them self NOT ATTEMPT. are mently ill i would know i have thought about it seriously before but my body mind wouldnt let me do it.

if people didnt feed there children the myriad of unhealthy foods that they do. they might not have heart disease to start with.

I could not disagree more. I think that more people than not, will give their life for there children. Its your CHILDREN. I definitely do NOT want to die, but if its me or my kid, The choice is clear.
