Who Would You Save First?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by 1lear, Apr 8, 2009.

    A few friends were hanging out and throwing questions around and this question was asked. It created a emotional stir. I thought I would ask it here.

    If you found yourself in a very dangerous situation and saw a way to save One Person, who would you save first.

    The people:

    Yourself
    Your Mother
    Your Father
    Your (1) child
    Your Spouse (wife,Husband,Significant Other)

    My heart would hurt from losing the others but I would save my child.

    I would gladly give my life for my Son or my Wife

    However, speaking as a qualified Beach Lifeguard, the person you are supposed to save first is yourself, even to the extent that if you were being swept towards rocks you would put the casualty inbetween you and the rocks, so that you stay safe to effect the rescue of them and any others!

    I bet that adds an interesting twist to the discussion

    Definately my child...without a doubt

    I'm guessing anyone with children would choose this option :).

    Any mother or father would do anything for their children.

    My child or my wife ... see which one:
    [1] has higher chance to survive (perhaps one of them has a disease and have few months/years left).
    [2] easier to be rescued (maybe one of them stuck their leg(s) somewhere & cannot be pulled out without using tool).

    If none of these decision is meet ... then I let my wife go with my child, leaving me with my parents. Sob sob sob ...

    I would save the child because at least everyone else has had a chance at life.

    my mom.. because she is the only person who will give me her life too.. maybe my dad.

    because everyone prefers their child but always forget about their parents, and i am well-against that.

    I think I would save my wife.....since I feel she is probably the only strong person who would be able to live in the absence of the other four members....

    Even, I would have loved to save my child....but he is too young to live on his own and my parents are too old to make them live alone!
    As for me...I am little selfish and I would prefer to die, without them! :eek:

    Regards,

    RightMan

    I'd save my child because the others have had more years of life than her

    If you didn't save yourself first, wouldn't it be impossible to save anyone else ?
