Common Good

When doing an act of service for the common good, or the benifit of a community or majority, it usually comes down to weighing your choices according to your priorities. If you have the type of personaility where you cannot watch someone die knowing that you can make a difference in their life, then you probably are like me and would donate bone the marrow. I don't think it depends on how close the person is to you, just the circumstance that they are in. If the person is close to me, but their situation isn't as tough as a person who I don't know, I would probably end up helping the person that i don't know before i help the friend/family member.
