Who would you save?

Question

Another of those thinking questions that everyone loves so much. Serious answers only please; anything else wastes your time and mine. As there is no "right" or "wrong" answer, I will award the 10 points to the answer I find most interesting or intriguing.

The Earth is doomed and there is no hope of saving it, but by some miracle, you have the ability to save just 20 people, including yourself (should you desire).

Who do you save, are you included, and why did you choose the people you named?

Answer 1

I would save my two little nices because they're still young and have not yet really experienced anything yet, my older brother and his wife so my neices wouldn't be parentless, my little sister and her boyfriend so my brother and his wife won't be the only two adults, 4 blacks (two males, two females) 4 whites (two males and two females), 2 asians(one male and one female), 2 mexicans(one male and one female) all these different races would be orphans with no other families who are around the ages 7 to 14 because at that age you can teach them different things and so they're races can keep living on, and also two elderly navajo woman that can teach these youngsters how to live and recreate the world. I would not save myself.

Answer 2

I don't have any specific names for you but I would chose the top people in 20 different occupations that would be beneficial to starting a new society and that would include a religious leader but only one that truely believed that all people are equal and that believing in man-made religious doctrine was not as important as personal spirituality.

I don't know if I would include myself......I haven't decided yet.
