Hello everyone. I will start out by saying that I am pretty sure there MUST be a topic just like this; but I spent awhile searching with the search function and couldn't find it. So please don't get mad if this has already been posted, you have my apologizes )
Anyways, the point of my poll is to ask a rather serious question; do you think you could bring yourself to cut off 1 or more of your own limbs to try and save the one you love? The most obvious example would be guts cutting off his arm to save casca, but there have been real-world incidents of people doing the same thing to save someone they loved.
Now, don't try to be Mr super cool dude, acting like it wouldn't even phase you please, try to take it into serious consideration. I know its kind of hard to answer until you have actually been put into the position. I guess the question is how much pain are you willing to endure to rescue those you love?
On a side note, I also have another question for you all. Could you bring yourself to kill a former best-friend out of revenge? Or would you try to, but do you think past memories would cause you to fault?
Interested in hearing the replies :)
(also, if anyone is curious, I do think I could. Now I know this is sort of contradicting my previous statement of not being Mr cool dude, but I honestly think I could if someone I really loved was in dire danger. I would be hesitant, though; almost too hesitant to the point where it's almost not worth it, but I think in the end I could bring myself to it. It would be hard, though. Exspecially since the human brain doesn't want you to harm your own body, so when your choppin' away at your arm, your brain would be trying to stop you; which would cause even more agonizing pain because the process would go slower.
meh, discuss.
