Violinist???

If I was attached to.......Someone totally hot like Jim Sturgess! Ha. Kidding. Seriously, I wouldn't care who it was. One of my life aspirations (vocab word!) is to save a life. I would save pretty much anyone. There would be only a few people in this world I wouldn't save. Terrorists. Intentional murderers. People who emit cruelty to others. If someone is willing to voluntarily kill someone based on petty emotions like jealousy and anger with their own life, then they do not deserve a year in my life to save their own. If they offered me things afterwards, of course I would accept them. If they didn't offer them, so what? We weren't put on this Earth to be selfish or to need material items in return of helping save a life. If someone feels the need to use material things to repay my time spent saving their life, i would feel honored. But I would be just fine with a thank you and real respect. Plus, sleeping and eating and having people visit me for 9 months wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Especially if I would be safe. If mean, saving someone's life by being in a bed with tubes for 9 months? Fine with me. Pregnant women carry around a little baby in their bellies for 9 months, so I could have someone attached to me and be just fine. Some people can't even afford any of these material things people are so attached to. So staying in a bed to save a life seems like an open door for me. Imagine how good you would feel after that! That someone could live just because of you being in a bed! It's a small price to pay for a feeling that would last you your entire life. Regardless of age, gender, beliefs, orientation, i would definitely help a person in a time like that.



This is today's assignment from Mr.Ross, which is called an E:Prompt. This one happens to be a classical ethical dilemma. I enjoyed this piece of writing, because it really made me think about what I would do if I was in this situation:

One day, you wake up in hospital. In the nearby bed lies a world famous violinist who is connected to you with various tubes and machines.

To your horror, you discover that you have been kidnapped by the Music Appreciation Society. Aware of the maestro’s impending death, they hooked you up to the violinist.

If you stay in the hospital bed, connected to the violinist, he will be totally cured in nine months. You are unlikely to suffer harm. No one else can save him. Do you have an obligation to stay connected?

I encourage anyone who reads this to really think about it. You might discover some things about yourself, and your morality.
