I mean serial predators once were children too.
Sometimes deciding which action would be the right thing to do could be the most difficult thing to do in life.
Well, that is true. Way too many variables in the question!
I would've donated a kidney to my mother, but she wouldn't accept it because she couldn't stand the possibility that her body would reject it. Luckily she got her donor kidney from a unanimous donor.
I would also have given my life to save that of my father's.
Although I will not sacrifice my life to safe that of my little brother's. I will not forgive him for the things he has said and done in life, especially for his actions shortly after my father's funeral.
My husband and my best friend. They are the only two in this world at this time I'd trust my life to. I have 3 kids and I would never want to put that burden on them.

I will give you a true story and you can use it as you like.
I had a great Uncle born in 1895. He was one of five children and had shouldered much of the burden of taking care of his brothers and sisters during the period of WW I, and the Depression. In the late 1940’s during the period when his parents and two siblings died he and his sister had a falling out. The family never understood what it was about, and as the years went on the distance between them just grew out of any understandable proportion. His sister died in the 70’s, and he in the 80’s with each never speaking to each other again, and each not really understands why.
I was a child in the 60’s and knew and liked both of them. I was also at the age that could get away with asking questions which were none of my business. My only answers came in the form "it is just too late to correct the problem, or we just don’t know how to start over". He lost a sister and she her brother over something that was of little value, and most likely due to the stress that comes when family losses a member.
They held a grudge over something they did not remember 40 years later, and the loss was much greater in that they lost each other. I remember this now as my family gets older. What is of value is not the pride, or money. It is the family. I think this is true for both the religious and the non religious.
Be that as it may, I hold no love for hypocrites and my brother is 1. For 20+ years I've tried to change that but what happened at my father's funeral is the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I have had to trust doctors with my life...really had no choice. Otherwise...it's a hard calkl. I know a couple of people who might die for me...well, maybe one person...but that's not the same thing.
I'd consider donating a little toe if it would save someone's life but certainly not one of the big ones.
Sure, but it truly is hell if you are in need of a donor organ, because the shortage of donor organs truly is great.
Luckily my mom was born with only just 1 kidney but no MD noticed this fact while she had delivered 2 children.
I guess that if my father had known that my mother only had 1 kidney he would not have risked my mother getting pregnant. Pregnant women with only 1 kidney have a heightened risk of dying while giving birth. Like my father I am not a gambling man, especially when it concerns the people I love.
