Hypothetically speaking, if your death would save the life of one or more complete strangers that you know nothing about, how many people would need to be saved (if any) in order for you to give up your own life?

EDIT: Your death would be painless and instantaneous.

    Strangers I know nothing about? Sorry, as I dislike people in general, I can’t give a number. I can’t even say if such a number exists. What if I say 100 and they’re all racist?

    I would give my life for my son though. He ain’t no racist. He’s two years old.

      Or what if they are 100 people who are all lying in hospital beds with incurable illnesses that cause excruciating pain, wishing they could die, and now doomed to years more of their unbearable existence?

        I would first ask them how they feel about immigration. But joking aside: In the situation itself I would probably feel different.
