I would generally say I wouldn't trade my life for people I know or don't know. I'm fairly young (hopefully healthy!) and have no kids etc. Possibly may change if I have kids, but TBH I doubt it. I would risk my life to save others, and that degree of risk would rise or fall depending on the person involved.
Think some people on here are confusing risk with trading of life as Tiggs has pointed out.

I often see stories on the news about young kids dying and it devastating families or parents dying and leaving their kids without mum/dad....
If there was a way i'd trade-off my life in an instant to help save another family.
Can't imagine many other people would do the same. Interesting to hear your opinions.

As you say, your young. Plenty of time to learn then. I can't think of anything more selfless than giving your life to save your childrens. As a parent, i can think of nothing worse than seeing either of my children die before me. Trust me, I'd rather it was me.

Maybe it will change when we have kids, I could imagine doing anyting to protect them like you say.
And when I say young, i'm 33 this year which is young in my eyes, too young to die anyway

I would always protect my immediate loved ones as much as I could, but as Tiggs says if it came down to it everyones selfish part of their character would come out and they would bottle it.
