If you had twins, who would you choose? It’ s like these fish that swim altogether and do the same moves. The predators can’t choose a victim.

These are meant to cause us to weigh our moral sense against our personal/emotional investment. I think it's interesting how ones age and gender influence the theoretical choice. My guess is that younger people and men of all ages are more likely to choose the strictly "moral" choice. Women are more likely to choose the "personal/emotional". I agree with most of the answers. The one that I find most surprising is how many people would let their son take the rap in Bali. Not me. No way. (I'm a woman and a mother.) Maybe it depends on your views about "drugs." I don't consider marijuana to be a drug. “Thinking outside the box” is kind of cheating. These are meant to cause us to weigh our moral sense against our personal/emotional investment.

My son is dead in seconds and I will no doubt be far behind. At least I may be able to take the bastard with me. 9) I'd stop the man's bleeding first if he looked like he would pull through. Triage is all about doing the most good for the most people. If the wife has a very low chance of survival the guy needs to be worked on. 8) I'd tell my buddy over a beer and trust him not to rat me out. 7) I'd tell the police to keep him out of jail so that I could kill him slowly and painfully myself. 6) I would keep trying to get her unstuck without using the dynamite. If you did use it it could kill everyone or collapse the opening more likely than leave a clear way out. 5) 50% is better than 0%. I'd save the niece and make sure the daughter knew I was coming back for her. 4) Ask the woman why she thinks she hit the guy. I didn't see it so maybe she did hit him and I hit her car. If she doesn't have a reason to believe I'd tell her I don't think it was her. 3) Give my son the opportunity to say it was his. If the officers insist on me answering I'd tell them it was his. It's going to be pretty obvious from the contents. If we try to cover it up we'll all probably be jailed/executed. 2) Torture him, but not his wife. 1) If there's a child on the boat with me I'd try to get them over there. 5 hours is a long time to macguyver a boat patch. 10) Attack the guard with all my strength.

Helping her in adultery? She didn't need any help till now so just continue doing your job as before and stop acting as the world would end if you don't do what you may think is the "right" thing to do. Anyway, one may argue that it is the only point of view. What is more important: your family or sniffing out other people+s business? I don’t see any dillema in number 8. Helping her in adultery?

He's dead either way and I wouldn't want the guard the pleasure of doing it and the loss of another life on my head. 9) I would have my parter take lead, get the fire fighters to assist (they are usually the first on scene at an accident from my experiences) and remove myself from the scene. I've almost never seen paramedics (I'm from Canada) travel alone, the exception is I have seen a few tahoes with only the one responder around. But in reality, there should be enough people at the scene of an accident (who reported it for example) that there would be the possibility of more than one rescuer. 8) I wouldn't tell him. 7) I'd let the bugger rot. 6)bye bye pregnant woman and baby. Who does have the right to decide who lives and who dies? I certainly don't. So should I leave it up to the woman? Then she's being given the same decision. No matter who makes the decision the decision is still being made. Who then gets to make the decision on who makes the decision? In the end I'd go for self preservation/needs of the many. Though if I were the one making this decision I'd also be the one to set the dynamite off. 5) Daughter 4) I really don't know. I'd probably stay silent. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like to wrongly incriminate while not incriminating the self at the same time. 3) I'd say it's mine, I'd be able to do a much better job of being able to explain how those guys who were handling our bags back at the hotel looked pretty suspicious and how I checked everything over once before closing them up. 2) torture.
