10 friends? I will gladly sacrifice myself.
10 strangers? KILL EM WITH FIRE (sorry, couldn't resist)

Poll: Your own life - Or ten strangers lifes?

Make it ten people that we actually like to make this more interesting, otherwise everyone is going to be saying that the strangers get lit up (myself included in that sentiment. Were it people I actually like and care for, the decision would take a long time)
Hi, Mr. Misanthropist here, guess which one I chose. If you're unsure, Google the word "misanthropist".
I'd kill myself without hesitation, I'm of the opinion that all life is equal so 10 lives > my 1 so yeah.
IN THEORY
Of course if this actually happened I have no idea what I'd do

Wow I never knew my life is worth ten people!
Ok joking aside I say it will depend. Since there is a speaker, I will try to communicate with them asking who they are and what they do (this will take a while). In most cases I probably will sacrifice my life to save theirs (unless they are psychopath or rapist).
I don't believe that I can easily forget that I just touch ten people alive and also my guilt will consume me either to suicide or insanity.

I'd wait to see what happens...
No point in rushing things - maybe the doors will open of their own volition, or the people who locked you in will get bored and come back or... etc etc etc.

Unless I knew for sure they had families, or were actually important people. I gotta say I think I'd let them die.
My personal RUTHLESS whims MOOHAHA! But yeah, I am just stating my opinion on this matter. The question was if I consider myself more important than 10 strangers. My answer was yes and in my defense I stated that I do believe in the "sacrifice few for the good of the many" ideology, however only if it concerns large numbers of people.TWRule said:
10 people are insignificant in my eyes. 10.000 however are a whole different story.
Honestly, I have no idea. But since I'm in love at the moment, I probably would have killed them. Still, it's just not possible to say that since I have never been in such a situation.
It sounded like it'd be tough but reading the description, I'd easily take the lethal injection.
This is the correct answer.Bigfootmech said:
I wouldn't be so hasty to end my own life without understanding anything about the situation. Similarly I wouldn't condemn 10 people to death for no justified reason.
If I was to die in this situation it would be because I refused to make a decision without understanding why I had to make it...
I guess that is true. It actually made me think of something to add. I'd demand one question answered - Have these 10 men just come from the same test in my position? If they had then I'd save myself.Raven said:
