would you risk your life to help a stranger?

Would you put yourself in a dangerous situation to save someone you don't even know?

Update:

If so, why?

Update 2:

would I help a stranger? No, not unless I somehow benefit

    NO WAY. I know two people that did - one of them got shot in the head twice and died, the other one got sued and lost.

    It depends on a lot. I would try to help if I had the means to.

    If someone says yes to this question they might want to think about if they would go into a burning building with flames shooting out windows, especially if their not a professional fire fighter.

    After watching the news and seeing the floods in Queensland, Australia, and how people are risking their lives to help others, it has truly inspired me

    No but then there would be guilt if the person died because of not being saved
