You die. You are offered a chance to live again, but the only way to replenish your life is to infect a person a day with an illness. There are others like you, and they are immune to what you have, so they don't count. You can't do anything like infect 7 people and be healthy for a week. You have to infect 1 person a day. The the clock on your health resets. Do you do it, or decide to stay deceased? I'd like to hear what everyone's views or personaly opinion would be on this. EDIT : The illness is lethal, btw. EDIT : I was curious about this cause I was watching something online and it's a similiar question, but different sceanario. Ended kind of good, as the person in question found a cure and were able to take it before they actually hurt someone good (yeah, it was a feel good ending). EDIT : Sorry guys, but there is no afterlife (mentioned this before in a previous post if anyone had read) in this sceanario. LAST EDIT : Yes, it's from Legend of the Seeker! Richard Rahl FTW!

Why would I hurt people I don't even know :P I mean I only hate ONE person, and I still wouldn't intentionally give him an illness.

It's a chance at life at life again. You might have felt cheated.. or maybe that there was still so much you could do or hadn't done yet. -shrugs-

I don't want to make others miserable...I'd rather accept my death. Maybe they'll grant me a free reincarnation because I chose the good answer :P

I'd do it, the prisons would be my food supply. What would I be infecting them with?

Btw, it's a chance. You refuse and you stay deceased. Period. And xdog, what would you do if the prisons ever ran out? EDIT : Not anything like the cold. Something serious... like cancer.

I voted no since I assume you mean a terminal illness. Well I'd rather die than kill 365 people every year, 3650 in a decade and probally over 20000 in my entire life, I don't know about you guys but I don't think I'm more of an asset to the world than 20000 other people.

Many people will probably say they'll stay dead for the sake of keeping themselves from looking like complete jackasses. Being that I'm only 17 and that I've experience almost nothing in comparison to those who have lived much longer lives, I would give a quick hell yes to infecting people in order to keep my life going. I'm not going to lie and so that I'd keep myself deceased for the sake of others. However, if I keep this question with me, I'm sure that with time my answer would change. Honestly, it all depends on the kind of life I have from here on out. If I live happy, I die happy. If I don't, maybe I'll end up becoming someone who's bent on making something out of themselves so much that I'd kill for another day alive. I really wouldn't know until I experience life a bit more. EDIT: So . . . many . . . typos!

If I could do anything to help more people than I harm I'd probably do it. If it's a lethal illness then no. @above Good answer.

Anyone here seen Death Note? Anyways, I would kinda do what Light did and write down a list of criminals which I believe deserve to do die and pick them off one by one
