Pop quiz hotshot
What would you do???
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you
pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the
bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there
could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part
of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she
is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could
take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would
be the perfect
chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your
perfect mate again.
