Would you risk your life for a sibling?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3018230/Man-35-dies-saving-younger-brother-oncoming-Tube-train-tragic-accident.html

There are many people in this world who have sacrificed their life for a sibling (or more) and I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on it. How close are you to your sibling(s) and would you risk your life for theirs? I have a younger brother who I absolutely adore and I would do anything to put his life out of danger.

Regardless of how close you are you'd do anything to save a family member tbh.

I would risk my life for family, friends, and generally anyone else I deem worthy. My life isn't worth that much in my eyes :wink:

No idea what I want to do with my life, and alongside some pretty bad confidence issues, I am pretty sure I would be fine with losing it if it meant someone else gets to live.
Of course, I kinda need to pay them back because I'm a huge douche to them especially :biggrin:

Yes. However, I think that the oldest of my younger sisters wouldn't consider the same for others, she's a coward. Plus, I don't really trust anybody else to keep my family in check after I'm gone. Don't get me wrong, I don't do a huge amount right now but that'll change in the future.

Yes, I love my brothers more than pretty much anyone else.
I'm not sure I'd risk my life for anyone, to be honest. Although I go through phases of feeling suicidal, so if I was going through a particularly bad phase then I'd risk my life for the ****ing milkman.


9 times out of 10 though, absolutely not.

(I have one sibling, a younger sister)

I fear death more than I fear life without my sister.
I have two sisters, one older and one younger. We're all very close and I like to think we'd do whatever it took to save each other :h:

Yeah definitely, bros before... ummm... don't really want to finish that.

Death isn't too bad, you just cease to exist. The worst thing I can think of is having an unfulfilled life. I'd rather have a worthy death than a terrible life.

Probably would. It's just me and my younger brother so we are very close. I'd like to think he'd risk his life for me too :smile:

Despite having annoying siblings, I would risk my life for them without a doubt. I guess it's instinct for being the oldest one :smile:
Not really close to my sister, but that's just our relationship, we get on perfectly because we're not in each other's face I guess :tongue:. My brother and I are pretty close I guess, but the age difference between me and them is kinda big. Regardless, I would risk my life for my siblings because I know they would do the same - although I would like to think they would
