5 10-year-old children are in a hospital with a dangerous disease that is certain to kill them unless they get treatment which is very, very expensive. All are from poor families. A company will pay for one child and sends you to pick which one will live:
CHILD 1 is an Arab and would grow up to become a great technical engineer, advancing the world's technology to a level it would not reach for at least 200 years.
CHILD 2 is a Latino and would grow up to become a great musician whose music would inspire people from around the world.
CHILD 3 is white and would grow up to become a great scientist who would solve problems such as global warming, excessive pollution, and other nature dilemmas.
CHILD 4 is oriental and would grow up to become a great psychologist and solve many problems of the mind, like depression, multiple pers., etc.
CHILD 5 is black and would grow up to become a great political leader, who would care for the people and make good decision for the country.

Shame on that company putting up the money to treat just one child. If the children have identical diseases then the cost of treating the rest should be marginal. I would refuse to go along with such a setup and would ask Bill and Melinda Gates, Saudi's King Fahd, President Putin, producers of Wowowee, practically anyone and everyone who would listen to help me put up the money to save all these children. These I would do even if one these children turn out to be the anti-Christ.

Probably the technical engineer. It was either that or the great scientist, and honestly I didn't find much difference between the two, but I figured that the engineer would invent things that would probably do a good enough of a job with the nature issues.

I would expose the company for only putting up money for one child while four other will die. I would hit up Time, Life, ABC, NBC, CBS, all the biggies, and then finally break down in tears on Oprah. Once you get to Oprah, the kids would be as safe as houses.

I would not want to live if I had a dangerous disease that is certain to kill me if I do not get treatment which is very, very expensive.

CHILD 3 because we need to take care of our environment before we make more things to destroy it... it has nothing to do with race as some people are making their answers out to be but the environment, without it... we would no longer be here so we derinately need to improve it...

Child 3 - without the world nothing else matters and it doesn't matter which color the child is.
