To save someone’s life, without a doubt there are 5 or 6 people I would lay down my life for. I’m single, no kids, not in love, so I would certainly sacrafice my life for my mother, my brother (he’s married—and if it came down to it, I’d probably give my life for his wife, my step-sister, not so much for her, but for my brother), my two best friends (who are married to each other) or their son (who is my godson). But I imagine that that would all change if I ever fell in love and started my own family. In that case, they would become my primary responsibility and hence, become the only people I would lay down my life for. Now, if you ask who would I choose if I had to choose between saving my wife or my children, that’s a decision I hope I’d never have to make. But I suppose I might choose my wife. However, I would instruct her that if she were faced w/ the same dilemma, she should choose to save our child(ren).
