He asks you to pick who dies.

What do you choose? Why?

An please, give an elaborate response, so it's just not a bunch of y/n answers!

You're not suppose to respond to a hypothetic in a why that defies the parameters. The question is designed to set your mind to the absolute limit, the edge of what you would do in a life or death situation.

It could just as easily have been a robo shark holding a quantum mega death beam to your face, but whatever.

It's interesting to see that everyone has said they'd choose themselves to die. There are significant pros and cons to both sides, but people seem to be ignoring that for the kind of melodrama moral justice we've all been instilled with.

I'd probably pick myself too. =/

But not to be good or anything, just so everyone won't be mean to me when they find out.


But you didn't just tell us to pick who lives or dies, you asked us how we would respond to him asking us to pick who dies.
