heres a moral/ethics question
heres an interesting question
scenario:
you are a cop responding to a call of a burning apartment building, you are the first one to the scene, you get thier to find its your own apartment complex, thier are 3 people in the building but in 2 different rooms yelling for your help, from one window thier is a mother and her 2 yearold son yeling out the window for you to help them, and from another window, is your dearly and beloved wife also yelling for your help, you have the option of saving the mother and her son but leaving your wife to death, or you could save your wife and leave the mother and son to burn to death. but thier is a twist, your wife was diagnosed with a disease and she has about 8 weeks to live. who would you save and why?
edit: thier is no right or wrong answer this is just a question to see what you would do
edit: dont read other peoples opinions before you post yours i would like to see what you have to say based on your beliefs, not the people who had posted here

Even if my wife didn't have a disease I'd save the mother and son first, if of course there was a 100% they'll live healthy

Why would the cop be called to a burning building? What's he gonna do, shoot the fire out.
BTW, I'd save my wife.

Lmao
Well if my wife was going to die anyway it'd have to be the mother/ son .. pretty sure the wife would want it that way if she knew death was a sure thing.
Then after I'd bang the milf.

Simple, my wife. As cold as it may seem to abandon the mother and kid I actually have a bond with my wife as opposed to a mother and son I've never met before.

Well, a utilitarian would save the mother and child because it provides the greatest benefit to the maximum number of people. So, in theory I'm a utilitarian but in real life, I'd save my wife.

hello, Super Man. I have been watching you lately and couldn't help but notice your interest with touching yourself. Now your obsession will be put to the test. The mask around your neck is a death trap, when the timer runs out, you will die. The key to this mask is hidden in your left testicle.....How much semen will you shed to stay alive, Super Man? Good luck, and remember....PITTB

my dad: who would you save
me: the wife and kids
dad: why?
me: because the wife and kid are gaurenteed to live, while my wife will soon die
then he brought up this scenario: 3 weeks later they complete an autopsie on your wife, the doctor announces to you that they mis diagnosed your wife and she was going to live after all, so now you have to live with that grim reality, 25 years later you finally learned the boys name who you saved... jeffrey dahmer.(he's a real person, feel free to look him up) so now you have to live with the fact that you let your wife die suffering and you allowed one of the sickest individules in the world live, feel good about your decision now?
then my dad said: i would save my wife i have mad a promise to her that i would love cherish and protect her, i didnt promise anything to the wife and kid, i dont owe them anything, i feel sorry for them but thiers no rule that says i have to save them.

fire fighters are usually the first on the scene when it comes to fire.

you people think to much when it comes to theoretical situations... what if the world was going to be fcked by a gigantic aids infested penis... would you call in the army and blow it up? no you would call trojan man....
so your saying if thiers a police officer 2 blocks away from a building, and thier was a firefighter 40 miles away, the fire fighter would naturaly get thier sooner because its his job? while the police officer sits thier and does nothing
