Not a scenario i invented myself, though i've adapted it slightly. Some stuff in another topic reminded me of it, and i thought it'd be interesting to see how people decided:


1. You're driving a car, suddenly from one side of the road comes a person (you don't know them), and from the other side come 2 gazelles.
You can't stop in time, so you have to swerve into either the person or the animals, knowing you'll kill whichever you hit.
So do you save one person, or 2 animals?

2. Same scenario, but on one side is a child with an incapacitating mental illness which can't be cured, and on the other is a super-intelligent chimp (no comedy glorification of monkeys please!). Who do you save?


Me? First one, i'd hit the animals, no question.
Second one, more difficult, but i'd hit the animal again, i think.

I'd use Kit's turbo button to jump over both of them!

No seriously, first one, the gazelles, second one, the chimp - is it possible to see the kid has a mentally debilitating disease?

Heheheh, mow 'em all down, if they're stupid enough to walk infront of you then they deserve it (except for the child with an incapacitating mental illness which can't be cured)

Animals both times..

Unless it was a boss I had 6 years ago, Then I'd quickly pull on the handbrake and slide sideways into both at the same time.

I take out the gazelles first, then go back for the person.
