Monte, do you have a wife and children?

Knowing about life and death rescue situations and survival makes it easier to overcome human emotional thinking that makes things worse.

For example:

In a boat at sea with people dehyrdated, how would you allocate limited water, say only a gallon amongst 4 people?

How would you dole it out?

Other.

Collaborate with an "Inner Circle" of 7 other people, then expand to an "Outer Circle" of 8 additional people - 16 total.

The 16 terminate the excess 8. Anyone attempting to get on is terminated.

The "Inner Circle" now terminates the "Outer Circle".

We now have capacity of 8, and precisely 8 filling that capacity. United in our exercise of will, we continue to delete anyone that comes within range.

I get your point, Monte, but I choose other. I would rotate people in the water. If people have to sink because there are too many so be it, but not too soon.

If anybody had to die it might be anybody that absolutely had to kill others without it being the decision of all onboard.

[Twilight]

Thinking about it some more, I don't think anyone would have to make a conscious decision. I think something would happen, and if you survived you would spend the rest of your life trying to work it out.

[Ludi]

All would eventually leave the boat through a natural process which occurs without any effort on anyone's part.


This process is known as "death."

Awful lot of waffling on a simple question about life and death.

So far, 58% would make the choice that would increase the chances of saving the most.

22% would make the choice that would further reduce the chances of those already in danger, and most likely cause all to perish.

And 19% would avoid making the choice.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', ' ')Another poll could be for those that would execute the people in the water (friends and relative of those on the boat lets say) and then 5 minutes later a coast guard helicopter comes over the horizon. How would you feel? Would you calmly tell the mothers and fathers of the children you clobbered on the head with the oar that at the time it was the 'right' decision ? Would they buy that ?

[MonteQuest]

I don't see anyone answering my water question.

Here's a hint:

What is the purpose of a water container or canteen?
