Hypothetical Question (From TIME Magazine)




You're in a war zone and you're hiding in the attic with 5 other people and your baby. The baby starts to cry. Would you suffocate your baby to save yourself and the other five people? What if it wasn't your baby and the parents had been killed earlier that day? Would you still do it?

How about this one:

You're in a lifeboat after your ship sank and your boat is overcrowded and in danger of going down. One guy is awake but very sick and won't survive even if you reach another ship. In order for the ship to keep from going under you need to get rid of one person. Would you throw the concious but very sick man into the freezing water or would you risk the lives of others?

What is your contribution to this blog? From what I can gather, all you added was the cute screaming baby image and the guy who is sicked, both of whom will be shortly killed by me!

No, seriously, the baby I will not kill. His life is in peril just like yours, and he is also a human just like you. The fact that he is crying and might reveal your hideout, well I guess it wasn't meant for you to survive. As far as I am concerned, you are all in this together. You don't kill anyone, especially because that is the purpose of you hiding, living.

As far as the sick asshole, man overboard! He is sick and can endanger your life. This choice is made easier by the fact that you need to get rid of someone. So he strikes out on two counts: He is sick and fat. Ba-bye

Hey, where's a new blog, Timmy? Also, can you change the background color since it is too annoying? Thanks.
