truth. Seconded. Say it was a madman who was holding both groups of people hostage and forcing you to make the choice. I'd choose the loved one, but that wouldn't make me responsible for the deaths of the 3000, that would still be the responsibility of the psycho. Nor would the responsibility lie with the loved one who was saved, they shouldn't feel guilty for the deaths of the others, they were merely saved, they had no choice in the matter. What if it was some sort of natural disaster? What if (this is the best I can come up with off the top of my head right now but I̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m sure you can think of a better natural situation) the ground was going to open up in two areas- under the 3,000 and under the loved one and you only had time to make one call to tell them to move. I see it as partly of your fault for the 3,000 because you had the ability to save them.
