Subject: Would you kill someone to save one's life?

You are on aa rescue mission in the sea. A boat has exploded, and you will go there with a rescueboat. You have one teammember with you. The weather is stormy, so if you fall out of the boat, you'll die. You have rescued 6 people in your boat, while there is only place for 6 people. (2 too many). When you want to go back, you see two children (11 & 13) floating head under in the water. There is absolutely NO place for them in the boat. (It wll sink, and everyone will die). There is the option to push the fat man who takes the place of two people out of the boat, and rescue the two children.

Just imagine that he thinks he has been aved, and that you kill him. How would you feel?

Would you do this?

If you don't then you're either ignorant or REALLLY good at just incapacitating people.

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

Probably. Saving 7 beats saving 6. Especially in the case with kids.

No, he'll die. You have to return to the shore with the other people. He will drown.

In the end... i think many will get cold feets, and maybe the fat guy is a good guy, and jumps off the boat in order to save them? But i wouldnt get my self to shoot another man, but in the other hand i would save the kids.. Damn OP y u make so hard and cold hearted questions dang it! You either kill the guy, wich is cold and ruthless or you let the children day, fuu.

No if we get hit by a storm and go off course and get stranded the rest of us can eat the fat guy while the two kids would be completely bony and useless. Its quick thinking like this that makes me probably the best pool life guard ever.

How am I supposed to push a fat man out of the boat, anyway? He's too heavy.

  • 11.27.2012 11:42 AM PDT

Yes of course I'll sacrifice one person, who has spent his life over eating, to save TWO who are younger and will live longer.

At this point, i think youll spit on your own face, since YOU ARE DEATH!

I would leave it up to the chance of the situation. It already had me "chance" across this fat fellow, why condemn him to death? Also, who's to say he couldn't speak up himself and offer to die in their stead?

If I were to shove him it'd feel more like a murder, even while saving two lives. Either way, somebody is going to die, that's already out of my control. Why try to control it further and even detriment my own mental health after the fact?


You have to make a quick decision! You'll need to push him immediately (the surprise) or not. If you try to convince him/talk to him, the kids are already drowned. They are floating with their heads under water remember?

Have the guy get out and hang on to the boat and take in the two children that way his full weight is not on the boat. Then rotate so he doesn't get hypothermia. Two people get out and he gets in, rinse, wash, repeat.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Have the fat guy carry them. That way the boat doesn't sink, we make it to shore. Everyone is happy. Problem solved.

No, due to too much weight, the boat will sink

The who wishes, fervently wishes

I'll continue on because as a rescue worker, killing someone wouldn't look well on your resume. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a lawsuit as well.

So -blam!- know. Sucks to be those kids.
