I would take it off just to see what would happen in space, I bet my head would explode. And yes I could not stand knowing I was going to die in 2 hours.

Actually, I remember looking that up once
It turns out you can take off your helmet for about 10 seconds, and put it back on and be just fine. After about 10 seconds your blood begins to boil, you might lose your vision and run the risk of passing out. I might be off a little on the time but it's something like that. It might actually be almost 60 seconds till you pass out. I don't remember.

I can see that this is a thought provoking topic so i think i will try to come up with more

I'd wait and when the oxygen got low take off the helmet. You never know.

I'd take off my helmet. The anticipation of death would be too much to stand for two hours. The whole time I'd be wondering if my oxygen supply was about to run out. I'd rather just take off my helmet and end it there.
Seconded.
The helmet would come off and I would start screaming any holy/unholy invocations to any deities I could remember until the goo started spraying out of my ears.
Whichever One answered would get a new acolyte.
Otherwise, I'll see you all in Heck.

Actually, I heard a long time ago from my first husband that it depends on where you were in space, but generally speaking, the part of your head facing to the sun would instantly incinerate, and the part away from the sun would instantly freeze. Instant death though. IDK how reliable that is, but it was what he went around telling people. (yea, he had conversations like this with strangers a lot.)
I'm pretty sure you'd suffer some kind of compression/ decompression problem at the very least though.

Actually, space is a giant vacuum, so every oriface in/on your body would have the space removed from it, and you wold be "sucked inside out." That is the decompression you are talking about.
Deep space death, sounds horrible to me!

This sparked my curiosity once again, and I spent a little time on Google.
What I found was that astronauts have been accidentally exposed to vacuums from time to time during testing. Because of the lack of pressure, all the moisture from their mouth evaporates, and their body swells a little. After a while, they might get the bends because of the lack of pressure. If an astronaut has air in his lungs when he's exposed, it could cause major harm to his lungs. As long as they open their mouth, or breathe out before they're exposed, they're fine.
In actual outer space, the sun would cause severe sun burn immediately, but the sources I found didn't say anything about instant incineration.

Ok next one I didn't make up myself but I borrow it:
"You discover that your wonderful one year old child is, because of a mix up at the hospital, is not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake?"
Why or why not?

I believe I would like to keep the baby, but than again you would have to look at the other family's perspective on it, because a decision like that would not only lie in your hands but in two seperate parties. IMO, I would like to keep the child that I changed diapers for, and feed, and woke up in the middle of the night to settle it down from crying. It wouldn't matter if the baby wasn't mine gene wise...I would still consider it my child.
