The classic "Sophies Choice" question. Here is your scenerio:
An evil dictator conquers America. Your entire community has been forced to go to a concentration camp. You and your 6 YEAR OLD TWINS, one a boy and one a girl , are nearing the gate of the camp when the guard says " You can only take ONE in with you." The other will have to go to a "special"camp where that child will surely die.
Which one will you take with you, the girl or the boy.
There are no variables to this question. Most women refuse to answer, or change things like "I'd pay the guard to take them both or I'd go to the other camp so both could enter..."
You must chose which one dies.
Answer to this question will be inserted tomorrow,based on thousands of interviews.

The studies showed that the BOY would be saved. We won't get into the psychological reasons, as it may sound creepy to many.

The Girl, why? Because if the evil dictator is culling children, there will be an 50/50 chance of each parent choosing a boy or a girl. However, if there were to many boys saved there would be a future imbalance in the population, 1 man can provide about 3 million sperm, 1 woman normally can have 1 child per year, so in order for the population to survive the girls need to be saved.

I think you should do your own homework.
But regardless, I don't have to think at all. I would give up the boy.

I would ask the childless couple behind me to take one of the twins.
