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?

1. Grandma is heavy and will drag you down in her panic
Baby is light, like an extra flotation device.

2. This question is interesting from a cultural stand point
Different cutlures answer it almost consistantly one way or the other.
