*If you don't have a sibling of the same sex let's just assume you do

Answer 1

I cant Fck my brother.

Answer 2

Would I let my brother die in order to repopulate the entire world?

Well the thing is this brings about the Adam and Eve scenario, were my son/daughter would have to have incest, which would create genetic mutations, and genetic mental errors.

So no I would not kill my brother in knowing that in a few years the entire population would be retarded.
(like there would be any difference)

Example the guy above me who appears to have cannibalism tendencies, what happened to eating food?

What are you talking about?????
There is a least a billion cans of corn in the world, I am sure you no one would have to resort to cannablism unless there was a nuclear disaster of some sort. But once again this is adding unto the situation which was at first very simple.

Answer 3

I wouldn't choose any.

Here's my reason. One must die, that is the rule. However if I was to save my brother, then the woman would die. We would obviously eat her out of starvation. Then soon after both of us will starve to death anyway. Pointless.

If I was to choose the woman, we would have sex, and eat my brother. However, implications would arrive, and she would die to lack of medical responce. You can't sew a woman back together with bark. She would bleed to death, and I would be alone, and soon starve.

The baby, wouldn't survive, because I wouldn't have any thing to cut the umbilical cord with, nor would, I have anything to keep it warm with. The baby would sooner or later die, and I would starve to death, after probably eating off it's dead carcase.

So I say, I wouldn't choose any, that way they could die quicker, and with less pain, and that way I would sacrifice myself to take the ultimate pain of dieing alone, and without food, I wouldn't want that horrible fate to bestow anyone, if I can spare it.

Most people will find my answer, gross and blunt. But hey this is theoritical, and when you are in a position like that you end up doing what is best for all of you.

There would be no way we could survive. The lady would bleed to death, and my brother and I would starve to death.

My answer is that I wouldn't pick any of them, out of consideration of pain and agony that I would spare them.

Sorry I have to sound inhumain, but that is the right answer.

Answer 4

I would save the person of the opposite sex for the good of man kind!! Actually no I might not, think of all the inbreeding that would happen if we tried to repopulate, the new human race may have a lot of problems being so inbred that we would quickly become extinct anyway, I would keep my sister alive and we could enjoy our last 50 years on the planet relaxing, eating coconuts (i dont know why there are coconuts) and remembering our family.

Answer 5

my sister.

Myself and a stranger couldn't possibly repopulate the world successfully . . . at most I'd say I could have 20 kids (if my body would allow it and if I didn't die from pregnancy complications). Well then.....those 20 kids couldn't have sex with each other ... they are brother and sister! And even if they did their kids would turn out like those kids now in Amish country...genetic disorders.

Answer 6

You add too many details to your original question and therefor add unnecessary confusion.

I would save the one I do not know.

My brother and I would know that we are okay and that the fruit of the species would have nothing to do with us. He would want me to save her because the future of the species may well indeed depend on her.

Answer 7

I would choose my sister, not only because she is my sister, but because I do NOT want to 'preserve the species'.

Answer 8

well i have 3 living sisters, one I would save, one I would let go, and one would probably kill me cuz well, she is my sister.

so my answer definitely depends on the sister, ( my oldest sister, unmentioned above is already dead so I wont count her, but I would definitely have saved her if I could and the way I feel about that <30 yrs later> over anyone......S

Answer 9

My brother of course. How can I save someone I dont know of and how wld I be able to propagate and multiply with the same sex / gender?

Answer 10

I'd choose the one I don't know because at 46 years old my brother is a hopeless case, and the person I don't know, I wouldn't judge them because I didn't know them, I'd want to give them the chance, since I know my brother will never do anything positive with his life.
Believe me, I'm not being mean about my brother, ya all don't know him like my family and I do.

Answer 11

If you can't sacrifice yourself than you got to let your sibling go. In this case sacrifice is necessary to restore the earth's population.
