Who would you save?

[splay]

I hate hypothetical questions, especially when people use them against you later.

Eh. I dunno, if I was married, it would be something important, since I pretty much feel that way about nobody, but even now I want a kid.

I'd probably decide spontaneously. But chances are, I'd probably go with the kid.

My initial reaction would be save the wife, mourn the child, make another one and never go conoeing again...
But, reflecting, I honestly don't think my wife would forgive me for letting our (fictional) child die...

Some questions don't have a right answer.

I cant answer this question :\

Difficult question: I'm a girl , so I don't have a wife, and also I hate children. So I'll probably leave them behind.

If you hate children, why did you have one?

Yeah well, but if you have a spouse you can make more...

Ofcourse you can do the same with your kid, but first of all, it has to be the opposite gender, and in some countries it's not considered completely legal...

This question means jack to me. I was on a canoe and it did flip. I was on the Shenandoah River and we went over a particularly hostile rapid and weren't straight. The canoe's bow went down and to the left, then sprang up at enormous speed, flipping the entire canoe counter clockwise. Me and my woman were flung into the water. We were wearing life vests (as anyone should if they're getting into a canoe) but that didn't stop the jagged rocks on the bottom from ripping our knees and shins to shreds. They call them "Shenandoah Gators" because of the damage they can inflict. The current was quite strong and we had no control over anything. I was convinced I was gonna die. I had no time to think about Sherri, I just tried to right myself.

We tried to flip our feet forward so we could end up on our backs, like the canoe rental people told us, but every time we did the rocks would slam into our legs or knees. The pain in turn made me gasp, and so I of course involuntarily inhaled some water. So now I'm being flung down the river in some rough water, bleeding and aching from my legs, and now risk drowning. Luckily there were some resuce personnel on the side of the river tossing retrieval lines out to us. We weren't the only ones to hit that rapid the wrong way that day. But on to the topic.

I'd save the spouse, just out of practicality. I know that there's a biological imperative to protect your offspring at all costs, but when there's such an emotional and financial investment, not to mention all the time and money others have spent on them before you even met, it seems to make more sense to save the spouse. Have another kid if you want. It won't be the same, but I was never that fond of children to begin with anyway.

I would think Aramor would just take her anyway, whether she was willing or not. But aramor is like so hot, how could any woman refuse?
