Should I stay or should I go?

One day, you wake up in hospital. In the nearby bed lies a world famous violinist who is connected to you with various tubes and machines.

To your horror, you discover that you have been kidnapped by the Music Appreciation Society. Aware of the maestro’s impending death, they hooked you up to the violinist.

If you stay in the hospital bed, connected to the violinist, he will be totally cured in nine months. You are unlikely to suffer harm. No one else can save him. Do you have an obligation to stay connected?


I would stay because if i were that violinist i would want me to stay. Ive still got my whole life ahead of me and he dosen"t if i leave. Nine months isnt going to change much. I would have to be payed though because they took me without asking. If i left i would never be able to forgive myself. I dont think it would be considered murder, but it would feel like it. I might be bored sometimes but i would feel good about myself. Most of what i do all day is talk on the phone, go on the computer, and watching TV. I would miss going outside and stuff.
