Folks,
You might have read these before elsewhere and you might even know the answer. The intent of posting such thought puzzles here is to see our echarchans would react. So please enjoy in the spirit these are meant to be and dont say its published at such and such a place - because I know they are!
Here goes -->
One day, you wake up in hospital. In the nearby bed lies a world famous violinist who is connected to you with various tubes and machines.
To your horror, you discover that you have been kidnapped by the Music Appreciation Society. Aware of the maestro's impending death, they hooked you up to the violinist.
If you stay in the hospital bed, connected to the violinist, he will be totally cured in nine months. You are unlikely to suffer harm. No one else can save him. Do you have an obligation to stay connected?
