If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it?
Go through with it, of course. Unless their mind was almost completely gone, in which case it wouldn’t matter that much to them anyway.

Your house containing everything you own catches fire; after saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?
Dunno. My data disk is currently in a firesafe with copies on two continents so thats reasonably bombproof, and nearly everything else I own is easily replacable or cheap or both.

How would you react if you were to learn that your partner had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?
So what?

When were you last in a fight? What caused it, and who won?
Never really been in a fight. Got followed home by some punks one night (back in the days of contention between the punks and the goths, or maybe it was skins and rockers, I dont remember) but I went for a bit of a detour around some roads I knew to be busy enough that someone would notice a fight going on and they ran out of patience before I did.

You are offered £1,000,000 for the following act; before you are ten guns, only one of which is loaded. You must pick up one of the guns, point it at your forehead and pull the trigger. If you walk away, you do so a millionaire. WOuld you accept the risk?
No. Theres lower risk ways of becoming a millionaire, admittedly most of them take a little longer, but, hey, I’m prepared to wait.

Someone very close to you is in pain, paralysed, and will die within a month. He begs you to give him poison so that he can die. Would you? What if it were your father?
No, I wouldn’t, though I would try to find a doctor who could help.
