I have a critical problem for you to solve...
After watching this animation, this question popped into my mind. I know this is a hard question, but I've been debating on this one since I had Critical Thinking, and this very same question was asked to the class. There are only 3 answers you can chose to answer this question, so choose wisely.
If you were walking down the street and a masked man grabbed you and pulled you over to a dark alley-way while pointing a gun to your head and showed you 12 small children in a line with their mouths taped-up and he said, "I'll give you a choice. You either shoot and kill one of these children, and I'll let you and the rest of the children go unharmed, or I'll let you go unharmed, and I'll kill all of the children. If you can't decide, I will kill all of the children and your life will be taken as well. WHAT DO YOU DO BABY!?
I, personally, don't think my life is as precious as all those children together, but I would risk my life to save ALL of the children, but then I would risk every single one of those childrens' lives by trying to be a hero. So, that leaves me with murder in the 1st degree by taking one of the children's life, which would be better than having every single one of them die. So, I would have to choose a child to kill, unfortunately. :( I know you will chose wisely because you stated the prevention from "...fucking up the rest of my life...”
This critical thought is a very similar situation...life/death decisions. Thanks for being wise and sharing this dramatic piece!!
