The building is burning. You have your own kid in one arm, and only have space in your other arm for your dog or someone else's toddler. Building collapses before you can run back in.


For the purposes of this scenario, the dog passed out from the smoke and cannot run out beside you.

For the purposes of this scenario, the parents of the toddler have passed out from the smoke.

For the purposes of this scenario, there are no other loopholes or situations that somehow allow you to miraculously save both.

What do you choose?

I courageously run into the burning building and drop my child and pick up my body pillow and run back out.

If theres enough smoke for adults and dogs to be passing out left and right then youre unlikely to successfully carry anyone out without a gas mask. How is the toddler the last one to feel the affects of the smoke? They have the weakest lungs of the bunch.

I hate these topics

Why do you want me to think of my dog dying

Like no matter how much I love my dog, I can't stand by and watch some poor child die. My dog is such a good girl she'd probably help me too. ;_;

Seriously, what the fuck? I know it's memey to say dog, but are these people for real? I love my dog. But he's not a human child. And I don't even really like children!

My dog is family. That random toddler is a stranger. Why wouldnt I choose my family over a stranger?

My dog is a pit bull so the toddler is already in his mouth when I'm carrying them to safety.

Its really not.

While you could certainly make an argument that its the wrong choice ethically, its the opposite of sociopathic behaviour, given that its rooted in having formed a strong emotional bond with another creature.
