Who would you save?

[pboily]

unless you are reading 1000 in binary, I'm not sure what you mean.

My daughter. I value my family more than other people.

Anyway, its the two other guys fault they can't swim.

Ditto. 10 charicters

If I saw my daughter drowning it would be the only thing happening in the world at that moment. Even if I saw the other kids drowning first once I realized my own daughter was drowning they would cease to exist.
I wouldn't choose my daughter over them, I simply would not even realize I had a choice.

I think this says it best.

neither, i would just sit there and laugh..........
j/k

of course my daughter first.

 

[Shylock]

My daughter. The parents of the other two probably laid them as a trap so they can sue me and make me out as a sex offender.

 

[ummmm........]

no doubt, but I'm giving an honest answer here. I don't see how I could go on living after being directly responsible for 1000's of deaths, even in the extreme case where my actions (or lack thereof) would end up saving even more people.

I think you're underestimating your ability to rationalize. The human mind is a beautiful thing in that regard. I'm sure you'd feel horribly guilty, at first, and it would take a terrible toll on your psyche, but you'd come through it in the end, and after a time it wouldn't bother you at all, if only because you would've stopped thinking about it.

But, as you said, YMMV and you certainly know yourself better than I know you . . .

Daughter definitely

Daughter definitely

Why does everybody choose that one, what if the two other people drowning were Bill Gates and some other billionare?? What then?

For those of us who have daughers, it's pretty obvious.

For the others, I don't know. They can abstract to a situation in which they would have a daughter, presumably.

Maybe it takes one to know....
