an ethical question (35)
Put it away,, as your best friend requested,, money is not everything and most certainly not worth going against what your best friend wants
Please do exactly what your friend says and honor her memory. She left you a beautiful treasure more precious than any money you will ever receive.
I would treasure it as the friend requested....and put it away.
Respect your friends wishes and treasure it. Dee
put it away
publish it, she will feel completely differently about this now. she is happy now, and would want to share.

seems like a trick question to me..if she shows the book to you, and it would benefit others i am wondering and would need to know more info before commenting further.
ohhh pucks you just have too many tricks up your sleeve.

no tricks...but my gut reaction is i dont know...need more input. i am analytical.not a trick question pucks, this is purely hypothetical......your best friend left this treasure to you, and asked something specific, would you follow their wishes? or would you do something alternative?
She will not be happy about that...her spirit need to be at peace.
well if it was my best friend and i was asked not too, i would do what was asked.
In real life you do exactly as the dearly departed requested in writing to do...to do otherwise may result in your friend appearing in your dreams, and asking you about the book...ha ha. Hypothetically, you are testing people to see if they really care about their friends after they are gone... 
I would have it published and donate all proceeds to a charity that focuses on research for the ailment that killed your friend.
Money well spent.
Money well spent.
and what percentage would you keep for yourself? lol
That's what I would like to know too.
I would honour your fiends wishes doing other wise is not respecting your fiends wishes It all about respect for your friend
Publishing it would be your wishes not the friends and I would consider a bit selfish to do so, regardless of what reason you had for publishing it

Hmm very different opinions here, but i still say publish it. her spirit is happy in heaven, and she would like to share it all now, and that was a good idea of giving all proceeds to what ailmemt killed her.

a year later you recieve a box, in it, a manuscript, from your best friend that passed away.....
you read this manuscript, it is the best book you have ever read, you know it would be a best seller and know people would love this book........
in the letter from your best friend it says........this book is for you, i wrote with my heart and soul.......only for you, please do not publish it, enjoy it and know i love you.
what would you do, knowing it would benefit others, be a best seller and probably make you rich.......do you put it away or get it published?
