Ethical Dilemna 2
Thanks to "The Winchester Way Forum" for these ethical situations.
“You are on a train station and there are 2 trains heading over 2 tracks. On one track they have tied down a newborn baby and on the other track they have tied down 10 strangers. You only have time to save one of them and you can’t redirect the trains. Which one would you choose and more importantly why?”

Flipping heck! Where do you get these from? Ethically/morally screwed either way! Seriously! That's crazy! Why is no one else around to help at a train station? I have a hard time with this one because I'm not a big fan of babies. But I've also found that most people are pretty selfish and mean.

You'd have the nay-sayers shouting at you for not getting the baby! LOL! LOL! Well, gut reaction was strangers and after mulling it over, yep, the 10 strangers. I'd hope the train went over the baby. Also, although the baby has 2 parents who'd be devastated, the 10 people would have families and dependents, so I'd save them. And shout at the folks on the platform rubber-necking.

I would probably look around for the cameras because I know that I would be getting "Punkd"... (Where's Ashton?...) I know this is purely Hypothetical...but How did the perpetraitor tie down all 10 strangers without a fight? where are the police? I mean it's a train station for god's sake ...LMAO not to mention the parents of the baby. Ok at face value...LOL I would un tie the 10 strangers (while smiling at the hidden cameras) and then tie the baby's parents to the tracks for not keeping a better watch on their kid and then walk over to Aston Kutcher and smack him up side the head for creating this sick senario (LMAO)

Is it me, but I have no idea what is going on! Vicks since you probably do not get the show Punk'd in the UK...the Ashton Kutcher reference is... On MTV a while back they had a show on Called Punk'd which was a candid camera type show. The show was created by and hosted by Ashton Kutcher (That 70's show). In the show Ashton would set up various senarios to fool his celebrity friends and watch how they would react (while secretly filming them making a fool of themselves) then at the end Ashton would come out of hiding and tell the victim "You've been Punk'd" hope that explains the lame pop culture reference of my reply ;D
