1. Imagine yourself trying to survive a catastrophe. The only way you can not die is by letting another person die. Think the end of Titanic(Di Caprio version), there is the place on the desk for only one person, other will freeze to death.

2. The other person is a young woman( if you are a man).

3. Other person is a child, cute and scared, but you will die if you help him.

4. You had an accident on lonely road, driving the car. The effect is death pedestrian. If you escape it is likely no one will ever know( please no "Last Summer" references.)

What would you do?

1. I would save myself
2. Save myself
3. Save myself

What makes their lives worth more then mine?

4. I would call and ambulance and the police and wait for them to come and admit I didn't see the person in front of me. Also I would never drive drunk so I wouldn't worry about going to jail for life because I killed someone while DWI.

My friend said he would let himself be killed instead of women or child, he thinks they are more valuable in order for our species to procreate.

LOL "more valuable in order for our species to procreate". That is rich.

This kind of absolutism doesn't work with me. How do I know this for a a fact? No one can predict the future... silly question IMHO.

Ever see the movie Vertical Limit? It is sorta like that(i think?). Say you are rock climbing and you are all connected to a single rope and verticlly climbing a cliff. The rope is about to break but if you cut yourself loose the rope will be able to hold the rest of the weight and the people would be able to swing to saftey. Would you cut yourself loose and fall or bring everyone down with you?

You are clearly an optimist. You see, in extreme situations like those, our basic animal instincts often prevail.

Thats the spirit!!

Well, without resorting to all that absolutism and logical nonsense...I go with saving the child. The woman is old enough and so am I. Let the kid live.

What would you do?

1- i would risk my life to save them but in the case where my death would be obviously certain....i cant answer...i honestly dont know. when in a life threatening situation such as that, its common for a primal instinct of survival to take over the conscious self....i'd like to say 'yes' but i just dont know.

2-see answer for 1

3-see answer for 1

4-i would call the police. i believe in 'what goes around comes around' and i also believe in divine judgement.

Do you think it is shameful to put your life beyond those of others? If so, why?

i guess so, but like i said, in such a situation one would probably act on instinct. to say that you would sacrifice yourself, having never been in such a situation, holds about as much worth as a grain of rice. talk is cheap.

if i was in a situation like that and put my life ahead, i would take a heavy shame right to the grave...if thats what your asking.

But I am almost sure I will sacrifice any stranger to survive. It is pretty clear to me, and I don't feel ashamed. Could I not know myself to such extent?

Not specific enough Melkor. And isn't your screenname kind of a red button?

Could you elaborate? About my screename, I mean.

And the Titanic example is pretty specific.

1. **** em, they can die. The worlds overpopulated, by letting them die I'm doing mankind a favor. The world needs less people, and more me. So I'm not sacraficing myself for some dipshit.

2. Psh, unless she's going to let me screw her after I save her, to hell with her, she shoulda been more careful.

3. Children are annoying and stupid, if I saved him he'd probably just get hit by a bus or something because he's a moron for allowing himself to get in such a shitty position in the first place. What about his parents, where the hell are they? They must also be pretty shitty for letting something like this happen to their kid. Why don't they save the kid?

4. I'd steal his wallet them sell his organs on Ebay, then by myself numerous hookers and laugh maniacally while they do unspeakable acts to my crotchal region.

Don't forget to sue his family for letting him walk around in the middle of a lonely road. What an idiot. Your car was simply natural selection.

4. I'd reverse and make sure the job was done properly

How could I forget that?

uh oh, better call geico.

exactly that

besides...i'm sure your friend wouldn't be so certain of sacrificing himself when faced with the actual situation, melkor.
there are few people in a person's life for which you can sacrifice your life. and even then, there might be special circumstances involved.

What would you do?

i am fed up of living a life of selflessness. I have been a time too many taking up the 'good samaritan' and helping a kid or a ***** whom i thought needed help or the 'angel' that returns lost property to its owners.

**** them all ! and **** this pretentious society !

*assumes Michael Douglas's character from Falling Down* 2guns

Save the other person in all of the situations. Without a doubt I would do that in real life.

Thats some bull shit, like theres not enough people on this planet, to precreate with.

So if it was another dude, you would let the basterd die ?

Ok 1 I would have to know the person, because Im not dieing to for qa person that in the future, will tell people, Ha some asswhole killed himself for me, what a sucker.

If it's a young kid, I will do it because its a kid, and didnt really get to live life, yet.

If I know the girl well(girlfriend, wife, best friend) then I would also do it.

Other people depends on how old they are. Same age, I would be like heads or tails.
