If you had to choose, would you rather save the person you love, who means a world to you (e.g. parent, sister/brother, best friend, lover,...) or ten complete strangers? How about twenty complete strangers? Or more?

You can't save them all. That's the point. You have to choose.

I would choose to save the twenty complete strangers rather than one.. Saving twenty people meant that twenty people and their loved ones will be happy. Whereas saving my loved ones can only make the two of us happy. Which one's better? Forty happiness compared to two happiness.

why can't the one you love be part of the ten or twenty?
but I do get your point. I would choose to save as many people as possible, and i would choose them by their needs, not mine. That could end up a really difficult decision, but one I would not regret...sadness would occur either way.

I think that i would save the strangers. ten or twenty life is more than one. I hope the person i love can understand...

Ideally, I would save them all but for the sake of your question I am accountable for the person I love. Therefore I would save the one I love.

i would most definitely save the one i love...
just think about like millions of people die everyday millions of "strangers" die every second when you are having fun at the party or whatever ,somewhere out there is the opposite,life is simply just unfair and thats just the way it is
im talking about realism here,death is a part of life...
i saw some answers here saying they would choose the 20 people..
WTF!?GET REAL MAN...that is just soo corny..
put them on a real life situation and we'll see the true color will come out.
so if that was your mother,the one who labored u,gave you life...
if that was your husband or wife that their children is yours too...
u would go for the strangers.....you dont even know their names and they dont give a rats as* about you..
..how pathetic is that?statistics huh..
like a stupid gangster who puts his life on the line for territory, that he doesnt even own,and would die for nothing...
a retard is smarter than that...i guess they are all over the place even on the internet and on yahoo answers.

How about saving yourself first? Then you can help others.
