Default Moral Dilemma

Anthony Summers wrote in
:

You are standing on top of a platform from which you cannot get down.
You are dressed in a set of pajamas and no shoes. On the platform with
you is a 6-month old child.

Across from you is a building which has been packed with explosives by
terrorists who are now dead. There are 200 people in the building and
the doors are welded shut.

Eight stories directly below you is a pressure plate the size of a

motor
home which will disarm the explosives. The authorities cannot reach

the
plate in time. The explosives will destroy the building in 30 seconds,
killing all 200 people inside, if you do not act.

What do you do?


Sit back and enjoy the explosion. Explosion rule.

Then use the heat from the fire to cook and eat the 6-month old child.

Do I have any beers?
