This is a p. classic moral dilemma question. Try to actually picture yourself in this situation and answer what you would do if faced with the choice:

-------------------------------

There's a passenger liner sailing from Britain to Australia (a nice long cruise). Halfway through the journey it hits a rock and sinks. During the panic and chaos of the sinking process you regain consciousness on some remaining debris with 15 other people. A lifeboat floats up to you all, but it can only support 10 people. Since you found the lifeboat you get to decide the 9 other people who will join you.


1. Nate. A doctor. He is addicted to drugs and is very nervous. Age 60.
2. Marcus. A black Minister. Protestant. Age 27
3. Carly. A prostitute, no parents. She is an excellent nurse. Has already saved a drownign child. Age 37
4. Rory. A male criminal. Charged with murder. He is the only one capable of navigating the boat. Age 37
5. Saul. A mentally disturbed man who carries important government secrets in his head. Age 41
6. Mike. A salesman who sells automatic washing machines. Member of the local Rotary Club. Age 51
7. Brett. A crippled boy, paralyzed since birth. He can not use his hands or do anything for himself. He must be fed by others. Age 8
8. Russ. A construction worker who drinks a lot. Age 27. He is married to...
9. Amy. A housewife with two children at home. Age 23. Married to Russ.
10. Dom. A Jewish restaurant owner married with three children at home. Age 40
11. Martha. A catholic Nun. Supervisor of a girl's school. Age 46
12. Richard. An unemployed man, formally a professor of literature. He has a great sense of humor, showed courage in the last war and was in a concentration camp for three years. Age 53
13. Jimmy. A Irish married man deeply in love, no children yet. Studying to become a pharmacist. Age 24. He is married to...
14. Mary. An Irish housewife married to Jimmy. Helps with a playgroup. Age 21.
15. Matthew. An American Neo-Nazi, thus hates Dom the Jew. However, he has a large box of food which he will throw into the sea unless he goes into the lifeboat. Age 20.

Realistically, the pressure of having to choose who lives and who dies would be too much for me and I would leave as soon as I saw the lifeboat


Extra legroom should’ve been the 16th option

Carly: Our nurse. Goodbye Nate, hello Carly. You get a seat. SAVE HER (1/9)

Mike: Rotary Club's slogan is Service Above Self. So Mike can drown for us, thanks Mike. DROWN HIM

Brett: The paralyzed boy. Our paddle. SAVE HIM (3/9)

Dom: The Jewish man with a wife and three kids at home. Sorry buddy, Brett took your spot. Your wife will do a tremendous job raising them tho. DROWN HIM

Martha: The Nun. DROWN HER

Richard: The war hero. I like my heroes undrowned. SAVE HIM (6/9)

Jimmy and Mary: Guess what lovebirds, I saved two spots for you. I can't split up the couples man!!! Except for Dom. SAVE THEM (8/9)

Matthew: The Neo-Nazi who hates Dom the Jew. I left Dom to die, fork over the chicken nuggets. SAVE HIM (9/9)
