but then you have but yours and their familys through the torment of losing a loved one, just to shave your own guilt in effect...that's also horrible (imo at least)
There isn't a good answer to the question imo

This.
Though, I only have one best friend, and I'd die for him without thinking. Not so sure about my "loved ones", which I assume you mean relatives or significant other. I don't have a significant other, and the only relatives I have that I know it'd make the decision hard for me for are my parents. However, they aren't able to have another child and I know it would completely destroy their lives if I ever died. At least I could console my surviving parent.

i think i would die. but only so i wouldnt have to feel guilty about killnig them
Assuming i hadnt died i would feel guilty for making them feel guility, but its ok for me, im dead
Killing yourself is the quiters option, killing your friend is the murderers option
Which is better really??

I don't know, I say now I would die for a loved one, but having a shotgun pointed at my head might make me think differently. Survival instinct if very hard to overcome, it is even more powerful than love, because you have no control over it hence 'instinct'.

Exactly. And fear too.
How many of you have been convinced to do something you do not wish to do. For example, you are threatened with consequence for not doing it, or peer pressure from your friends, or some other reason. If you can be made to change your mind from trivial reasons such as consequences or peer pressure from your friends, then do you think it'll be easy to hold onto what you said if you are facing death?
You guys may sound noble and heroic now, but if some maniac looking guy actually went up to you, with a bloodstained knife, and told you he is going to stick it right through your chest, and is going to slowly pull it all the way down until you can see your intestines slide all across the floor, you'd very likely be thinking differently.

I live. If you value anothers life more than your own it shows something.
