Say you had a pet dog that you loved dearly; best dog you ever had. Somehow, your dog and a person you don't know at all have simultaneously fallen into a body of water and are drowning. You have the ability to save one, but not both. The one you don't choose will die. Which one do you save, your dog or a total stranger?
Quite the existential dilemma, eh?
It's hard to determine what's right and wrong, but most people say they would choose to save the human being.
"I'm saving my dog because I love him and because, statistically speaking, most people are assholes." -- Rory Albanese
