To read the story I'm responding to, go to http://www.ross-ed.org/ and find the post "Thomson's Violin".

It would be really difficult for me to stay in a bed for 9 months straight, I don't know if I could stand it. I don't care if I could watch TV all day, or not go to school; I would literally go insane without running around, getting fresh air or just going outside. I would suffocate being in the same room all day, everyday for 9 months. That's about 250 days! Oh man would that be torture! But, if I didn't help out my musician, it would haunt me for the rest of my life and I wouldn't be able to live with myself, knowing that I just killed them. If you think about it, it's technically murder. I think it would be awesome to be able to talk with my musician and maybe even form a friendship, and then maybe I'd get free tickets every once in a while, or be able to borrow clothes. I wouldn't save her life for the glory or the benefits. First of all, I wouldn't be able to live without her music. I love it and I listen to it almost everyday. Also, she's a believer in Christ, and that's really important. If she wasn't a Christian I wouldn't save her because she wouldn't be saved anyway, but since she is... I also know that that's what Jesus would do, save her. He saved all our lives when He died on the cross and since He made that huge sacrifice for me, I would be willing, but reluctant, to make that sacrifice for someone else. After all of these pros and cons of helping, I know I would. It would be difficult, and I would vacillate about quitting half way through, but I'd push through and then my life would be that much better. This is definatley a hard question and one I hope I never have to face, and this is my answer for now; I don't know what I'd do in the future. I hope this would be my decision then too, but I'll probably never know.
