Quote:I have no doubt as a father there would be no hesitation for my wife or children,  Admittedly I don't think I would for a mere friend or stranger. Like you said who knows but the love I have for my children and wife is far deeper then a friend or stranger. 

 

However, the OP wanted to have a philosophical discussion regarding this.  Do you feel that if you took a bullet to save one of your family members would result in you being remembered as a "hero" or as a "coward" since you would have "transferred some guilt" according to the OP?

 

This thread reeks of "homework" for somebody.  I find it interesting that the OP didn't want to comment on my first post, even though he wanted a "discussion".
