A building is burning. You have time to either save a child trapped inside or

a valuable painting which you would then sell, using the money to save 20 children from certain starvation. What should you do and why?

If you don't save the painting the 20 kids are 100% guaranteed to starve to death

id save the child and then do whatever I could to help the 20 starving children, or take them all home, coz I got lots of food at home

@Gangstress The kids are certain to starve if you don't take the painting

@Gangstress Not in this scenario. It is a troubling question that's why people avoid thinking about it directly.
