Saving her

i just watched Money Not Enough II (not the deliberate grammar mistake) today. yea its another typical Singaporean with heaps of subtle morality crap. crappy show but it still got to me.

There is this scene where this guy's daughter and mom in need of urgent blood transfusion but there is only one bag of blood. be warned that the director made this a very tilted balance by casting the daughter young and hot while the grandmother is all old and dying. "save the daughter" i hear you scream, and that was exactly what the guy did. this is another 2-people-drowning-but-who-would-you-save question, the one which baffled everyone, well me at least, for all these years. who would i save?

i really don't know the answer, if i were to be in that situation i would come up with a santa claus' gift list long debate on who to save, but by then both would have drowned. this is everyone's weakness i guess, indecision i mean. when it comes to 2 things that one values most, it is hard for one to take side.

ask yourself who would you save if both your daughter and mother were drowning. if you can come up with an answer in 3 seconds, "you are inhuman" i say.
