In front of you are two infants, the infant on the left is the last of it's kind, the infant on the right is one of billions.
The lives of both infants are in grave peril and you have been granted the power to save one and only one of them. You must choose.
Question one: Which will you save?
If you do not make a choice, there is a risk that both infants will die.
Please answer this question, by selecting from poll options 1 to 3, before reading the rest of this post.
Now, supposing you are told that the infant on the right is a human infant whereas the infant on the left is a great ape, does your position change?
Question two: Will you now save the human infant or the ape infant?
Question three: What is the reason for your final decision about which infant to save? Is it logic, or loyalty to your own species?
Please be honest, if your immediate reaction is to save the infant on the left, please don't change this answer, just indicate whether or not your decision changes, in the next poll question. Please make sure you answer all three questions, to avoid skewing the results.
Thanks for your participation.
