Your driving along in a hurricane. There's three people at a bus stop. One is an old lady. She's sick, she's about to die. The second one is your best friend. He saved your life. And the third is the girl of your dreams. But you only got space in the car for one person. Who do you take?

It's a toss up between the 1st two.. the 3rd can
wait! Another girl of my dreams can come down the road sometime. I'd have a hard time chosing between the 1st and the 2nd so I'd likely go enee meeny miney moe which one is the best Yes No Maybe so! to determine which one gets in. If you really want me to pick one that be the old lady that's sick. But in reality I go do the eneene meeny miney moe bit!
Luckily I don't have a car... I have a bicycle so the problem won't happen for me. More people should ride bicycles and there'd be less pollution!

I would get out of the car, tell my friend to drive, put the old lady in the spare seat, then wait for the bus with the girl of my dreams.

You take your best friend. You see the old ladys had a good run she'll understand, as for the girl.... there are a million more out there that can probably fit the specifics, besides shed probably just end up turning out to not be the girl of your dreams. Best friends dont come along every day u have to cherish the real friends. (besides he saved your life you owe him.)

i guess I would help the old lady as she is not likely to get help and she might be sick but it could be only fear because we don't know for sure when we or some one else will die. So as much as I might like to help my best friend my friend would be more able to help him self than that poor old lady. I am a female so I will take it as the guy of my dreams. well if the guy of my dreams didn't want me to help this old lady first he wouldn't be the guy of my dreams. So what would you do yourself huh

I would get out of the car , ask my best friend to drive the girl of my dreams while holding the old lady on her lap ,to safety. I would much rather sacrifice myself , then live with the fact that i left those people to die. Good question!

Hmmm... Interesting question.
I would get out of the car, give the keys to my best friend and tell him to take the old lady to safety and send someone back to pick us up. I would then wait at the bus stop with the GUY of my dreams for help to arrive.

Yep an old question all right, but why would you let the girl of your dreams die.....how about giving the key to your friend and let him take the girl....so she could live. Me and the ol lady will face the hurricane, she's going to die anyway, and i'll have a clear conscience/....???

I'd have to pick the best friend. The old lady doesn't have much of a life left and you said "the girl of my dreams" implying that maybe I hadn't even met her yet (or actually HIM in my case. lol). She could be just some beautiful woman that I'm attracted to. Maybe if you'd said my husband/wife or soulmate or the person I'm in love with, then I'd have picked her. But, best friends are for life.

To answer this question you first have to put a value to human life. Is one life worth more than another. This is a tough question with many theories on the answer. I don't have one so I think I would get out of the car have a discussion with the others about what to do. If nothing could be resolved we could just draw lots, because isn't life really just a big game of chance.
