I made this super long and detailed then safari wanted me to verify that I’m not robot(first time this happens) and my efforts were thrown out thrown out the window FU safari and heres my thread’s remains: Like title said, today my coworker ask me a interesting question (probably cuz I’m always vaguely answering him lol ) Here’s the question: If your wife or you are pregnant with the baby past the point of abortion/it’s well developed and just waiting to be born in few months, would you press a button that gives 50/50 percent chance of ur baby dying in exchange for a minimum amount of $1million ? I said yeah and he called me evil *sheds tear* I just wanted my kid to have high survivability/luck with this final test Edit: seeing how everyone is calling me evil now here’s my reasoning for my answer not that it would make a difference really Spoiler: Details -I figured since their might be complications during the pregnancy and or after the birth that would cause the kid to die sooner or later either way it will die. I am not afraid of it’s death because it will happen to all living things. And we can just have another kid. -Luck is an important aspect in life especially If i want it to live well with good luck to support it. 50/50 percent chance is pretty good if you think about it. It’s fair and equal, only thing that changes is it’s outcome so still depends on luck. Better than having 60/40 or 70/30 and who knows if the kid’s “luck” would end up choosing the “rare” slot. - it seems most seems to think I care more about the money but no I don’t really care about the money but it’s the minimum amount to make me think of pushing the button, and the money will go to the kid if it survives if not then it’s to the next kid. - if my wife don’t want to push button then I won’t push, if she does want to push button then we push it after hearing her thoughts. -and last but not least it’s cuz I believe in my luck as well as my kid’s luck, it manage to compete against all the other sperms and eggs and lasted months developing, this button will be my final test for the kid before it ventures into the world. Or rather it makes no difference because it depends if the kid manage to come out safely anyway, idk if the result will be diffenrent whether I press button or not, meaning it’s just a random bet that doesn’t let me lose much. And well realistically it just depends on my financial state, if poor then yeah if rich then no and i probably will be emotionally attached to it so I won’t press button...maybe....
As long as no one knows whether I push the button or not.... I'll push it. I'm a single man, dunno how it feels to be a dad yet. Sounds evil eh... haha
Sounds like something an evil person will say. An evil person can know another evil person afterall. Muahaha
If you press the button... Even if the child survives, I wonder if you could live with yourself knowing that you put your unborn child's life at stake for a bit ok, lots of money, but still... If the baby dies, would you able to live with the guilt... Unless you're as evil as the OP; handsomest evilest chicken on the planet.
You will have some people who argue every which way they can about what is an appropriate time or maximum age for abortion. Plus assuming you do want the kid... why take that chance at all, you are getting what you want after all... In a world where i am single thinking about this question, ya. I would roll the dice. In a world where i actually want a kid, hell no i would not take any odds.
And we have not discussed about the part where we DONT PRESS THE BUTTON Will it be a healthy baby? Will it be an egg? Or will he be born with... anime hair
I don't care if I get a million dollars or if the button blows up the world, I would press it, why? BECAUSE BUTTONS ARE MEANT TO BE PRESSED!
I dont like kids so i'm not having any babies. But bro even if i don't like them and it was a mistake i still wouldn't press the button.
i would press it cause statically its a 15-20% you are going to lose the baby so all i'm doing is just increasing and with my current situation its better if we have the money
I would press the button. Don't care if my child survives or not. If i can't even save my child's future, why would i let him live if he/she would feel despair of living anyways in the days she/he live.
