If you had to choose between saving your child or 5 other strangers (The same age as your child), who would you save?

Definitely my child but sadly my parents choose strangers over their children.

@Anna1880 I asked this question because I feel I would choose the strangers, as well lol. Well... I wouldn't *feel* like choosing strangers... but I would probably choose them because of acknowledgement of equality. It'd be a choice against my emotions. And I'd cry like mad afterwards. But I'd save the others, personally :/

@SW-User To be fair though, if my child was in danger and one of your children were one of the 5, then that means I would be saving your child. So, there's a form of appreciation in choosing either decision, I think.

Yes I can understand your point, however blood is thicker than water. My mum is too old now to look after herself on her own. None of my sisters are willing to support her coz what she did in the past. Even though sometimes your children are wrong but still you should take their side regardless. Thats my point of view. Family always come 1st.

@Anna1880 I see. We come from different backgrounds, it seems. I'm very much a believer of family comes first, but I see the world as my family. Some you hate, some you like. But we live in the same world, nonetheless. Saving the 5 strangers, to me, would be saving family, to a certain extent.
