You have to kill your best friend who saved your life, or your pregnant girlfriend. Otherwise they both die.

Who?

Neither because it is not moral to kill

Guys. Stop trying to miss the point here. The point is, only one can survive, no matter what you do. If you don't kill one, they both die. So stop being pathetic and answer the question.

Hmm... Toughy. Maybe my best friend... Bros before H***, right? Besides, I'd owe him a favour.

Of course, if I kill a pregnant lady, two of the most important people in my life die at my hand... And I'd never forgive myself...

But to kill my best friend for selfish reasons? How could I possibly do that?

I'd have to kill my girlfriend. But I'd be reluctant to do so. Man, I hope I'm never in this situation...

We didn't. It's just a question that shouldn't be asked. It's like saying would you rather kill your mom or dad. It's wrong, and I'd rather have them die rather than killing them myself.

If you don't think it should be asked, then why did you reply?

And yeah. You kinda did avoid the question.

So you'd rather live with knowing they both died when you could have saved one of them?

Of course, whatever way you look at it, there is some kind of moral guilt involved. That's why it is such an interesting question. I think, with the right way of thinking, you can learn a lot about a person based on their answer.

Well there are a ton of variables to consider.

I noticed you changed 'pregnant girlfriend' to just 'girlfriend' which changes the whole way I would have answered.

This question seems a lot like a question that would be asked in one of the games he is making.

EDIT: and I think this question would be better if it was you could only save one rather then kill one.

True, true...

However, you don't really count your girlfriend as your best friend, so...

Its your best friend who saved your life, would you consider that amounting to 2 lives? Karma?

Its your girlfriend who is pregnant, would you consider that amounting to 2 lives? Potential?

And you have a choice that you can save them from death, but only one.

Its a hypothetical question... shouldn't be manipulated by calling one the same person, it just shows where exacly you value life deep in your mind.

Yep. Everyone else, as far as I'm concerned, is being very petty. Frankly, I'm disappointed.

Mhm, avoiding the question by saying "I am too moral for this question! Therefore I will not answer it." or something like "You do _______ to avoid the situation..."

Really sad to be honest, I mean its a hypothetical question; what are you afraid of?
