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

The child would be my immediate concern and I would bring them out of the fire. Then go back for the painting and die because even though I saved one life I couldn't live with the knowledge of the price I was forced to pay.
