- Kill the child so that the 1000 can live.
- Let the child live so that the 1000 die.
I hope for some interesting answers - it's a test of morality and there is no right or wrong answer. Thanks. Flux.
Or a different answer would be; pretend to kill the child and then hit the terrorists so goddamn fast they cannot kill all the 1000... :) Then hit the terrorists bases, supporters, funders and everyone remotely connected to them, wiping them from the face of the earth and ahnilating them. Ho hum.....

You put 7 in the boat and drag three behind tied to it by rope, rotating people around so that nobody gets too cold.
So only one trip.

Can't you just take the 7, and come back for the other 3?
Do you choose seven of the people to live, and three to die, or do you take everyone but leave a only fifty-fifty chance of survival?
Decided yet?
Mathematically, you should choose the seven. People tend not to though, as they can't face the responsibility of choosing who dies.
What if one of the people inside the building might go on to discover a cure for cancer? What if the innocent child turns out to be the next hitler?
Pesonally, I'd kill the baby.
