Live and Let Die?

You're 35-years-old with an eight year-old niece, who happens to be the apple of your eye. She's in need of a kidney transplant and you are the only member in the family who matches.

You have an extreme fear of hospitals, doctors, and needles although you've remained healthy most of your life. However,you're told that your chances of pulling through the operation are 50/50, whereas hers is considerably higher.

Would you go through with the operation or opt out of it and have her put on a donor list?

I think I'd go though with it because there's a lot of things based on 50/50 these days. (Not all but some). And if that gave her a chance to live, Yep I'd do it.

It's Like That

Due to the current financial restraints the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.
