Let's say...
You're standing on a dock that sits over a lake.
You see your pet and a stranger drowning, your pet on the left and the stranger on the right. They are both the same distance away from you.
You only have time to save one, so you must choose. [b]There's absolutely no way to save both of them.[/b]
So who would you save?
-
The stranger. I like my dog, but she's only got a few years left anyway. And the stranger probably has a family to take care of, people who rely on him/her, etc. My dog is cool, but it's still a dog.
