My daughter said she’d literally die for me (we were watching a Smallville episode) – I told her I’d do the same. Would you literally die for someone?

Yes, my children, without pause.
There are probably other situations where I might do the same for another human being; but that’s the answer that immediately popped into my head.
maybe i guess it depends on who it is. Right now I dont think there is anyone I would die for. Maybe my mom, but i just dont no.
My kids without thinking it for half a second! No one else I think..
No one. It would break her heart if I died for my mother.
I’m not sure – My husband or one of my siblings, perhaps.
In a certain context, possibly a student. Heaven forbid the high school where I teach would experience some sort of school violence, but if the situation presented itself, I would probably take a bullet for a student. (again, I’m not sure, but I think i would)
My family.
And perhaps asmonet.
My sister.
And you, Chuck. You make me laugh every day :)
My son. No question.
I think if it were a situation where I could save someone in my family, but I would die in the process..they’d probably want me to live, because I have a young child.
If it came down to me and my husband, we both would focus on our child. Like, if we fell off a bridge into a river..my husband would save our child and not me. I cannot swim, and we both know what that means. We’ve had this conversation and I’d be at peace with what was happening, as long as I knew my son and husband were safe.
I would die for my family but especially my niece because I love her so much and she is just a baby and I could never even imagine going to her funeral knowing that I could have taken her place.
Kids, if i had any – biologically, adopted, or if they had come under my care (tho, that would only probably happen if they had no other relatives or friends, so it wouldn’t be very responsible to leap to die for them, unless their lives would be in serious danger otherwise).
Possibly a stranger in dire need of help that they wouldn’t get without my risking my life, though i can’t be sure i would, as much as it’d be nice to think so.
Perhaps my mom, tho she wouldn’t want that. Perhaps a serious lover/partner.
And if it were apt to benefit everyone in a way my life is rather focused on, without a doubt, for everyone. Not that that’s gonna happen. Would be harder if it were for their benefit, but in a way that went against my values, so i can’t say. All of these really depend on the circumstances of those scenarios happening, since that possibility could come up for the same people listed but in different ways which would easily affect what i do.
And in all honesty, there is a chance i’m too selfish to do any of that. Living with knowing you could have made such a choice and didn’t, and others died or seriously suffered for that couldn’t compensate for not making that choice when it was offered.
There was one but he died before me.
Almost anybody, really. At least, anyone I value more than myself. Which doesn’t really narrow it down much.
A friend or an enemy if they were to change in their lives not to hate.
My children or husband, without hesitation.
Barack Obama. I think his life is more important than mine.
My son. His life is more important than mine and his baby would miss him more than she’d miss me though I am a very appreciated grandmother.
I would die in order to live.
