At the end of 2018's Spider-Man Peter Parker finds himself in a position that tests his very heart and soul. A deadly virus is spreading throughout the city, and there is only one sample of the cure. However, his beloved Aunt May is suffering from it as well. He must choose between saving her or the rest of the city.

He ultimately saves the lives of the many over the one. But, the question is, could you do the same? When facing the impossible, can you make the hard choice? More importantly, can you make the right one? Can you do what needs to be done even if it kills you on the inside?

Let's relate this to a real life situation. A loved one is kept alive only through a machine. Do you keep them there and hope for some surprise miracle? Or do you send them on peacefully to the hereafter? Life is filled with moments that we never wanted to come, and it is in those moments that show who we are.
