Seriously, these "situations" are silly --- if there are that many people IN the lifeboat, and it hasn't sunk yet, everybody just needs to remain calm and collectively paddle for shore, watching out for sharks.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Christianbookworm View PostI know, some versions have there be a sinking ship with more people than lifeboats, but that's why your supposed to have enough lifeboats for everyone! A lot of these classic ethical dilemmas could be prevented with enough prep and a contingency plan!

That's the thing about dilemmas, you don't know what you'll do until your in it.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

The fact that you mentioned "rich", you just made this dilemma a no brainer for Darth Executor.
And I am sure the rich person must have done something vile to merit it's gruesome destiny.Ladino, Guatemalan, Hispanic, and Latin, but foremostly, Christian.

This reminds me of the story about the airplane that developed engine trouble. As the engine sputtered and died, the pilot came back through the cabin wearing a parachute, and said, "I've got bad news - there are 4 people on this plane, but only 3 parachutes, so you guys have a decision to make". With that, the pilot opened the door and jumped.
The other three people on the plane were a priest, a boy scout and a liberal genius (if there is such a thing). The liberal genius jumped up, grabbed a parachute, and said, "YOU TWO have a decision to make - the world needs my genius to solve problems like global warming" and, with that, he jumped out the door.
The priest looked at the boy scout, and said, "son, you take the parachute, because you have your whole life ahead of you, and I have lived a long life and am prepared to meet my maker".
The boy scout said, "Aw shucks, Padre, no need for that -- there are still two parachutes left cause the genius grabbed my backpack!"The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
