"None of your family / friends / acquaintances will suffer from any form of cancer anymore, nor will any of their descendants! How many years of your remaining lifespan would you be willing to give up in exchange for the whole of humanity enjoying the same protection, given your sacrifice would remain anonymous? (If you provide a large number, no life extension would be entailed.)" -- (Requires numerical answer: number of years).
A question on a similar vein I once thought up but forgot to ask on LW:
Omega offers to give you $X, but he will kill you one year from now. What's the minimum value of X for which you'd accept? What if it's one month? Ten years? Thirty years? (No, he isn't going to tell you anything about whether cryonics will work. Also, he promises not to tell anyone about your deal (when you die it'll look like you had a heart attack or something) unless you try to buy life insurance.)
