Re: Who Would You Save?

Thinking entirely logically and with no emotion involved,and working within the usual rules for these thought problems, here are my choices.

I didn't think about who I'd want most, but who I'd want least. 3 and 5 were the first to go because they are both too young and wouldn't be able to add as much as the others to survival. My next thought was 2 or 11 because of their health problems, and ultimately I'd choose to leave behind 2, because theoretically 11 can get into better health to keep from having a heart attack, but if 2 doesn't have a ready source of insulin there might be some problems. Finally after leaving behind both 2 and 3 I figured 1 would be the least useful because of the psychological trauma of having to leave behind both his wife and child.

Now, in reality I would put eight people on the raft, giving one of them my seat, including the most unhealthy ones. I would then rip some wood planking from the ship and build small rafts for myself and the three healthiest other people, likely 1, 7, and 10.
