Maybe i dont have any moral or anything but i would choose the Adult. I mean just take the question further, lets say that the babies dads are dead, then would you like taking care of a baby that is not yours?

At least a adult can take care of himself and have a life if everyone else in his life is dead. Thats just my own opinion..

Baby can go into a foster home. Might not like it but it's better than being dead. No one said you had to take care of the baby. Besides, if you have enough morals to save the baby in the first place, you should have enough to care for the baby yourself.

And the adult can have a disease which makes them totally different than the average adult. For example, they can have Alzheimer or be deaf mixed with being blind. Not all adults can take care of themselves.

The child or baby, like what everyone said, have the potential to change the world. Although I highly doubt that. The adult has already lived minimally 20 years, it'd be horrid if the child or baby were to die before they were even 13.

We are talking about a Adult, not a Senior or very old person although the thread creator never said the age of the adult i suppose it should be around 30-39 or something around there which is not really a time for people to be filled with diseases and stuff.

Seniors which is starting from 50+ is the time for you're body to get filled with crap but not a adult >.<

Also, if the adult was blind like you said then it just gives me more reason to pick him up because of pity IMO.

But taking everything out from this response here and now, i doubt in the heat of the moment i would save anyone, realistically i would just save myself then if i can i would try to save others but of course its easier said than done.

The adult age can range from 21-49 in your case. You can receive a disease through heredity or a something as small as a bug.

If you pity the adult for stuff like blindness, what about the other two people who haven't even lived a longer life like the adult.

Your moral instincts make you do things you wouldn't normally do if you had enough time to think about the situation.

I choose the child.People choose the baby because it is younger and hasn't gotten to see the world but think about this,how many babies are killed by abortion every day?It's because if the baby is killed it won't miss out on anything if it hasn't experienced life there isn't anything to miss.While the child has experienced life but not to a significant extent and the adult has probably experienced most aspects of life.

-It would suck for a child to know what candy or *** is but not have the chance to experience it.
-The adult most likely would have experienced some of these things in all their years of living.
-The baby doesn't know what it is so it isn't missing out on anything.

the child

babys dont have the upper body strength to hang off roofs, hell be gone before i get there

the adult should know better, maybe pick a better spot for sight seeing next time

the child may have generally just made a mistake, and shouldnt die for it, save the kid, get the girl, end scene like a boss

I would pick the child because then they could actually remember being saved and lead to them living their life to the fullest, like an eye opening event or something haha. i wouldnt pick the baby because they cant even hang off a building and the adult can save himself haha

In a crunch situation i would no doubt save myself with no hesitation or regards for the others. Get publicity for surviving. Be on the internet talking about it. Be on oprah saying it changed my life. Dr. Phil for therapy. Write a book about the events leading to and following that day. Make a boring movie that will probably only air on lifetime. Make up stuff about trying to save others. Make a self benefitting charity organization to avoid taxes and live my remainder confortably.

Oh sorry.. to honest?

You choose the Adult because the adult can create more life right away. You don't choose the baby because it is very young and can be replaced. You don't choose the child because of the same. I think I learned this is Sociology. It's same with loss. Would you rather lose your Husband/Wife or your child? Most people say Child but the bond between you and your Husband/Wife is stronger and always comes first. You can create more life to bring into the world.

if the child or baby lives and grow up, they can do the same :O that example is just bad

ot: id choose the child, the child had less chance to exp life then an adult and deserves more
even though its also true for the baby, the baby isnt aware of what life is or that is it even about to child
the child would be most afraid being that he or she has the ablitity to realise he or she is in dangerous, which would drive me to save the child

Because the adult has no relationship to me (example: wife) i choose child.
Child is closer to adulthood and has just about same amount of quality years ahead of him/her as the baby does.
(1-3 = not quality years imo)

I would save the adult, he/she is the one most capable atm of fufilling the life debt, wouldn't a consenting servant be the best? i know that kicks the shit out of babies and well kids just don't quite have enough appreciation for life...also who's to say the kid or baby won't die sooner then the adult way i see it adult has more experience in staying alive
