A Hollocaust of mega proportions is about to ensue upon humanity. 6 People have arrived at an underground facility, but ALAS, only 5 people are
allowed in.
The shelter contains enough supplies, food, water, etc., to sustain
only 5 people for 3 years. Basic medicine cache.
Dilemma:
Pick only 5, and state your reasons as to WHY these people should have a place in the shelter.
Candidates:
1.
Chad - Harvard Graduate. Engineering is his forte. He recently found out that he
might possibly be 'sterile' - due to previous
lab experiments.
2.
Ben - Healthy and verile male. Yet, egotistical, and has many biases towards others because of his upbringing. Doesn't subscribe to
authority very well.
3.
Maria - Surgeon/Physician. Her husband left her 4 yrs. ago, and she hasn't trusted the male species since then.
4.
Cecil - Diabetic. Has
almost 3 yrs. of Insulin supply. Hardworking individual; no task is too menial.
5.
Brenda - 5 months pregnant. Candidate #4 - 'Cecil' - is her husband. Very hard working individual
6.
Rachel - Ordained Minister. Taught Theology for 25 years. Excellent teacher.
Who would you choose and Why?
Note: This was an actual exercise given in our class in high school. I'm curious to readers responses

Okay first I 'd say I'd have to choose the pregnant woman for one reason she's fertile and if mankinds wiped out can give birth to the future.
NEXT i'd have to choose CECIL because she expendable and most likely and surely will DIE without her insulin and I know diabetics So we kill HER for
the survival of mankind. Or she dies naturally...
Next i'd choose Maria because she has Medical experience and can save lives.
Then unfortunately I'd choose ben but, he will have to die later on because he would cause probblems but, he's fertile for the survival of mankind.
SO once were done with him for the genectic survival of mankind we throw him out the window...
Last I choose chad because he another male which can protect the females from the aggresive male and he might not be sterile but he's a man and men
aren't just ment for reproduction their ment for protection too.
SO i'd take
CHAD
BEN
MARIA
CECIL and
BRENDA
in terms maria gives birth but one of them dies so it even things out....if not somebodies going to have to die regardless of how many people you
choose...or who you choose...
I didn't want rachel because I wouldn't want that chasity religious bull# which has divivded and killed many people for over thousands of years and
besides she's probaly not even fertile...
CHAD for PROTECTION FROM BEN
BEN FOR FERTILITY
MARIA FOR MEDICAL CAPABILITIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND SURVIVAL
CECIL FOR EXPENDABLE ROOM FOR MORE LIFE AND A EXTRA FOOD SOURCE
BRENDA for FERTILITY
