thats about what i was originally gonna say, with the exact same reasoning
however...you're just moving to a lifeboat, not disneyland
as far as i can tell, there is no guarantee for survival
taking people weak in health or mind could be trouble
so, that said, i'd pick...
1 - the mother and nurse. being a single mother she would have obviously accumulated at least some mediation skills over the years. also, her skills as a nurse could provide incredibly valuable when struggling for survival.
7 - james, the piano virtuoso. yeah so playing a piano isn't usefull on a lifeboat, but he's 17, almost in his prime. basically, he's not gonna die out quick. probably has some damn strong and quick hands, he could fish with them maybe?
and idk...either 2 or 3. tough choice. i'd probably go with the boy just because he may have some limited useful knowledge as opposed to the girl who probably has none. and this isn't a sexist thing, but come on. how many girls do you know who thought squids were the coolest things ever and how many guys do you know who played with barbies?

There are ten passengers on a boat that is sinking. The life raft can hold three people. Who gets a spot on the raft?
1. Kayla, Mother of 3 children, works as a nurse, no husband.
2. Mary, Ten year old girl.
3. Simon, Ten year old boy.
4. Sally, Scientist on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer, but has a weak heart.
5. Mahatma Gandhi (at age 60)
6. James, Seventeen year old Piano virtuoso who is already considered the greatest pianist of modern times.
7. Mother Theresa (at age 60)
8. Abby, The last aboriginal.
9. Horatio, the only person alive with the ability to read cuneiform, the ancient language of Mesopotamia.
10. Your mother
Doing this for my theory of knowledge class and was wondering that the avreage flesh eating core whores take on this would be. |
I would say Mother Theresa, Gandhi, and mom you three are not going to make it. All three of you have lived wonderful lives and in your memories I would like you three to discuss the three people that will be saved. I would have them make the decision because the rest of the group would respect their wishes more than some "god" picking people.
They would get rid of Abby, Kayla, and Sally right off the bat because they have lived a wonderful life already. Being the last aboriginal Abby is probably really old anyways and wouldnt make the raft ride. Sally would have a heart condition while on the raft and Kayla raising three kids would see the honorable thing to do and let the children live.
That leaves Mary, Simon, James, and Horatio. Anyone that dedicated their life to learning the ancient Mesopotamia language is probably older and full of himself. The other 6 would have to stop Horatio from jumping on the raft with the three younger children. James being an expert piano player should have with him some sort of papers with notes on it. Sally will write what everyone is missing when figuring out the cure for cancer and Horatio will write a quick few sentences in both english and cuneiform to be the next roseta stone. James will take care of the children and those three will live.
Now if I picked the people both Ghandi, Thersa, and my mother will doubt me being a god and not follow my instructions. Everyone will just do what they want to do because they would not respect my decision, and they would jump in the water and hang on by a leg or arm on the raft and eventually die of cold or sharks. |

why do you care for the mankind ? |
I don't. You're right, i'd take the little girl, the mother, and Mother Theresa. That's a three-generation foursome. A hat trick. Foursome score some. Orgy smorgie. Hot sex on the high seas. Ther'll be no accusations, just huge ejaculations under the SEEEEEEEEEEEEA.
And it all depends on how far you want to take this all being a "real" situation. If you want to predict what will happen once the people are on the raft, and not pick the least healthy because they might not survive, even if they would cure cancer, then why can I not also suppose that in such a situation we would all devise a random luck system like drawing straws to decide who goes? |

Kayla because she needs to be there for her children and is an overall caretaker. Fuk the little 10yr old kids.....Kayla has 3 children....her death could mean the death of her 3 offspring. So she's valuable.
Sally because it's cancer for gods sake!! that needs to be taken cared of!
And my mom because she is one of the best human beings i know :) |
