Case Scenerio:
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

im going with:
Chad
Ben
Maria
Cecil
Brenda
Chad because we would need an engineer because we would probably have to rebuild.
Ben mainly for procreation purposes.
Maria because you got to have a docter right?
Cecil because he is willing to help in anyway he can. The diabetes shouldnt be too much of a problem cause he has enough insulin for almost 3 years
Brenda because she is hard working and would most likely be an asset. I was a little hesitant about her being pregnant but thinking about it I figure
the baby would live off of what she eats for another 4 months, then after the baby is born it could be breast feed for the better part of a year.
there would onyl be about 1 year and 6 months left after that so the baby would only need 1 year and 6 months worth of food from the supply.
Hopefully Cecil and Brenda would be willing to ration there own food so the baby could have enough to eat.
I decided to leave Rachel behind because I dont consider her an asset. I feel that she would be in the way. I just dont see a need for her.
