Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I have a philosophical/moral question for everyone. It will be interesting to see the answers from both genders. You guys probably heard this before, but lets try it anyway, and see what happens. Imagine this situation: You, your spouse, and your little baby are drowning. You have the chance to save only one of them, who do you save? You wife/husband or your baby? And explain why? God Bless, ~Meg. " The soul has no rainbow if the eyes have no tears.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 C-Save them both (I am Superman at least in my own mind) If such a situation ever presented itself to me or my wife - the choice is automatic - no thinking - you save the child. If it was me - I'd save the child & then die trying to save my wife. If it was my wife - I'd want her to save the child and then go for help. The love for one's own child supercedes love of even your own self. --- " Meg W.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I would save the baby- You have an obligation to save your child because they are pretty much helpless in that situation.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I'd definitely save my baby because the baby hasn't had a chance to experience life as my husband & I had.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 well, it`s rather obvious - i`d save the baby. because i have stronger connection with child, because it`s dependent on me, because it`s baby. it`s part of me. i can find other partner... or not... love & light patie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I would save my baby b/c he/she would be helpless in the situation, where as my husband should hopefully know how to swim. On a related topic my mother and I have had a discussion one similar to this regarding PWD's. She had told me if we were on a plane that was crashing and there were 10 parachutes and 11 people, she would suggest that I not get a parachute b/c the parachute could go to someone who could do more for society as an AB person and be more of a help. She explained to me this is why PWD's cannot sit near the emergency exit on planes b/c we would be in the way for others to escape. I have no clue if this is true, but my mom is a true utitilatarian (sp?). Kimi In a message dated 1/6/2006 2:17:13 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Kimi I fly a lot and I can tell it really is true that disabled people are not allowed to sit in the row where the exits are. This is so even if the row has more space than others and it would therefore be easier for us to transfer there, for instance. I have always found this rule to be very very discriminatory. - and offensive, actually. When I have tried to think why, the only valid reason I can think of is that if we were sitting there, we would block the way for others so that they couldn't get out. But still all this clearly reflects the mindset where our lives are not as valuable as the lives of others. smiles Taya Re: Moral Dilemma > > I would save my baby b/c he/she would be helpless in the situation, where > as > my husband should hopefully know how to swim. > > On a related topic my mother and I have had a discussion one similar to > this > regarding PWD's.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I would save my child of course. My first obligation as a person is to my child everyone else comes second. A comment about the emergency exits on airplanes or other public transportation. I honestly don't think the reason you are giving or have been given is entirely accurate or true. The reason they want an able body person in those sits is so that person can help with an emergency sitation. I ask those of you who are disabled. Would you be able to open that " emergency " door when the time came to abandon ship persay? The companies would risk losing everyone on the plane or ship if the emergency exits were not open in time. I who isn't disable can't sit in those areas either because I don't have the physical strength to pick someone up if needed. personally ask to be moved to another sit so someone who is more capable than I can sit there.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Taya, Only able bodied people who are able to open the door are allowed to sit on that row. Please note children are also not allowed to sit there - it has to be someone who can assist others to exit. It's not meant to be a value judgment - any more than the rule for parents about putting on your own oxygen mask first, then putting on your child's. It's just safety for all. bettylou Taija Heinonen KOTI wrote: > Hi Kimi > > I fly a lot and I can tell it really is true that disabled people are not > allowed to sit in the row where the exits are.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Wow-what f-ing BS that is - as stated in earlier posts the E-Exit row is reserved for folks able/willing to help other folks out of the plane in case of an E-evacuation. I'm sorry that was said to you - what a mean thing to say - based on absolutely nothing. People that make such comments should be the ones with the short straw - they would be doing far more for society by not being able to make such evil suggestions. --- Ksmile96@... wrote: > > I would save my baby b/c he/she would be helpless in > the situation, where as > my husband should hopefully know how to swim. > > On a related topic my mother and I have had a > discussion one similar to this > regarding PWD's.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm morally opposed to entering into situations where I might be confronted by a moral dilemma. ;-) A moral dilemma such as this is likely the result of a prior moral failing... I.e. Failing to prepare for a forseeable misadventure. > > I have a philosophical/moral question for everyone. It will be interesting > to see the answers from both genders.
