I could easily name you hundreds.
-
father, husband, son, siblings. 12 in total.
-
My family. So that makes 10... including myself! (But I gave you points for the question!)
-
I have no idea. All deaths affect me, even people I don't know.
-
Wow, way too many to count, including a couple dozen relatives, my co-workers, former co-workers, their families, my friends, former teachers and neighbors.
-
husband, 2 daughters, parents in law, brother and sister (and their spouses and children), brothers and sisters in law (ditto on spouses and children) quite a few friends, lots of present and former parishioners, lots of rock stars (I am a vocalist) and a few actors.
-
I can't answer that because I keep hearing on the TV News about servicemen in Iraq, Afghanistan and God knows where else being killed and even though I've never met them and don't know them or their families my heart goes out to them.
-
The entire executive branch All senators My parents Any one of my cousins (19 of them) my brother anyone at my church old friends from high school old friends from college Any friends at work I can't name them all by names but its hundreds.

Using "care" loosly, probably somewhere around the hundred or two hundred mark. I mean, I would "care" as in be interested and affected by it- if George Bush died, but it wouldn't affect me in the same way as if my Mum died. If you mean emotionally affect, 10. I just counted.
-
I care when anyone dies, but it would hit home the most, if it were a close friend, or family. I can think of 30 right off the bat. If someone from this site died, I would also care very very much, as this is my home on the internet.
-
every single person i meet, pretty much. id ot make that many enemies...nvm i have quite a few.

The question is a little ambiguous, as Lady Fuschia has already commented on, there are different levels or caring. Caring on a personal level; then I think most people would include all of thier family, friends, work colleagues and people that affect thier general day to day lives. Caring on a more general level people would start to include celebrities who influence them, sports stars, members of government...Anybody who a person can relate to or admires.
-
Okay, this is probably going to get me in trouble: Maybe six or seven. I don't care about the servicemen dying in iraq, or the starving pygmies in ethiopia, or that billions of children are being killed by cigarettes. I didn't know anyone who died in 9/11, so to me, it's not a tragedy or a travisty or a reason to break down in tears when I see a flag or hear the national anthem. People die. It's a law of nature.
-
Assuming you mean "care about" in a positive way (I'd have to care about someone's death to want them dead) probably 32.
-
Hmmm... My parents, my wife, my children, her children, my step-granddaughter, my ex, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, THEIR children, my wife's siblings and THEIR spouses and children and grandchildren, my ex's family and THEIR... My friends and THEIR... GEEZE! I could name a LOT of people!
-
So many I wouldn't be able to think of them all in one day.
-
On a wider basis I would care about a lot of people dying unnecessarily. On a closer emotional level I think I have pretty much died on that basis. I care a lot but I cannot really feel it, as I feel I should. I think there have been so many of my close relatives die over the last few years my system is in shock or others may think desensitived

My Parents-2 My husband-1 My children-3 My brothers-2 My sisters-3 My nephews-8 My nieces-6 My best friend-1 Her family-4 My other friends and their families-too many to count My coworkers-7 My aunts, uncles, cousins, and all their families-too many to count. So many more but I don't have time to list everyone.
-
too many
-
My mum, sister, son,dad, fiance, his mum, his brother and maybe 10 close friends on an really care about basis. but everyone I have ever met in the sense of just caring but it would not affect me
-
A lot, including my dad, step-dad (mom has already passed), my children, my cousins, friends... waay too many to list here individually.
-
Everyone, just about. I hate death, which is strange considering I do a lot of estate planning and administration of estates.
-
ummm probably somewhere in the twenties...
-
Too many to count.
-
Lots and lots, too many to name.
-
My mom, brothers, sisters, Grandparents, Aunts, and 2 of my cousins.
