Poll question: The Dilemma |

Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 03:40 PM by Az
You are in a raft that is sinking. You have with you a baby and your grandmother. You may be able to swim to shore carrying one or the other. The other will surely drown. Which do you save?

Baby is light, like an extra flotation device.

2. This question is interesting from a cultural stand point |
