I doubt it would be deliberate. It would be a bias. "He will never wake up, but he can save lives." Small chance, but why deliberately manifest it against you

I agree, that's also why: - I don't have a partner or kids, chances are they would kill me for inheritance - I don't have a job, so that people don't want to kill me to get it - I don't own any physical object, and live in the woods, don't want to be killed for robbery Small chance, but why deliberately manifest against yourself?

  You get something in return for all the risks you listed. This is why I said "If you are altruistic perhaps". I'm not and I gain nothing by helping others after I'm dead. Now if it was the case that in return for being an organ donor I get paid a good chunk of change or some other benefit then sure. As things stand being an organ donor to me is similar to crossing roads while deliberately paying less attention.

    I think this stance can be better known as the mentality of a psychopath no? Perhaps just of someone who has lived a very sheltered, privileged life and has never had to empathize with anyone else? More likely it seems like some kind of mental issue related to sociopathy or psychopathy. I am not a psychologist but this view seems to fit my understanding of those diseases.

      Psychopaths are incapable of feeling empathy. I merely restrict empathy to family, friends and people who are in a position to reciprocate. I do feel pity for people who succumb to the mental compulsion to empathize with everyone.

        Unsure whether youre an edgy juvenile or if there is actually something wrong with you. Either way I do hope that someday the wonders of modern medicine come up with a way to help sick people who really do think the way you claim to think
