Question

As some might be able to tell, I've been in a very thought provoking mood recently, probably due to, what drunks call "a moment of clarity".

So, here's another one for you.

You're totally happy, deeply in love with someone, best you have ever felt. However, you find out that in order to save the entire population of the world, you must allow this one tresaured person to die.

What would you do? Let them die? Let the rest of the world die?

Yes, I know I nicked this from Star Trek: The Original Series, think it was 'city on the edge of tomorrow' not sure though, good episode though

Hello

Interview people for her replacement. Making sure they understand the gravity of the situation, and that they have to do *very* well at the interview in order to save the world. The interview would, of course, be 90% practical.

Steve.

of course you let him/her perish - there are plenty more fish in the sea!!!

Especially after saving the world - you'd never be without

That's just depressing. When I had a kid I had a recurring nightmare in which this evil-bad-guy type made me choose between my mum or dad, or else they both get it.

Would the rest of the world get to know about it, unless you happened to make the choice that ended it?

<seriously considering a life without Shell's Optimax refinary workers and speed cameras>

Now do I have to follow the zeroth law of robotics or the 1st law?
