What would you do?

You fall asleep, nice and cozy in your own bed, in your own house. You wake up to find you're in the hospital hooked up to (insert favorite musician here); YOU are the only way to keep this musician alive. All you have to do is stay connected to them (be in the SAME hospital bed) for 9 months and then the musician will be cured and well. Is is worth it? Is your life more improtant? Choose your own ending here:


For me, it really does depend. I don't think I could be on the same hospital bed for 9 months. I don't care if I didn't have to go to school or I could watch TV all day; I would seriously go insane. I'd suffocate being inside, being inside the same room all day, everyday, for 9 MONTHS! Not going outside and gettng fresh air and running around and rolling in the grass and swimming in the ocean, just being able to watch it through a pane of glass would kill me. I wouldn't be able to liv with mysef. I also vacillate btween things a lot and it would be torture to want to help this musician one minute, and then want him to die and let me get on with my life the next. I struggle with this constintly. Then again, I think it would be awesome to be able to talk and form maybe even a friendship with my musician. I'm really talking about a band (Rascal Flatts, but let's call it the lead singer) when I say musician. They're a young band who are loved and their songs are on Billboards everywhere. They still have the chance to write, sing and perform; they could Do SO much still. If it was an old man (70+) I think I would let them die (how cruel does that sound?) because they'd already lived their lives mostly and don't have that many opportunities left. I also wouldn't save them if they didn't believe in Jesus because H is EVERYTHING to me and anyone who doesn't believe in Christ isn't Saved anway. My musician is a Christian, and thinking about the sacrifice He made for me to be able to know Him and live, I know I can sacrifice my life to help someone else and to make a difference. My life is meant to serve Christ and I know that He would help save my musician and give up almost a year to help someone else, so I think I would make that sacrifice too. This is a difficult question and there are a lot of pros and cns to both sides, but I know that I'd follow my heart. My answer to this question may change in the future, but this is my NOW!
